[MonoDevelop] GTK# references for MD 2.8.1 on ubuntu 11.10

[Andrew York]

The building of Mono related libraries should be left to the distros 
where it has always been. What would you suggest Mono/Monodevelop do 
where there are dependency issues with one of the base packages for a 
distro? Ubuntu has a system in place to add software to their repository 
I don't think they are going to just add Mono because they build it and 
asked nicely. The distros implement the software not the other way 
around, it is not fair to compare Linux builds to Mac or Windows where 
the dependencies are almost non-existent.
