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

[Ian Norton]

Those are all good goals, we should keep them in mind but I think we should start small first, there are no mono built binary packages for Linux other than the old suse ones so I think we should start on Linux.

I don't think we should invent a whole build system for this just yet :-)
