[MonoDevelop] creating a package to use with md

[artyom.szasa at gmail.com]

I have mono + all gtk/addins/gio libraries + monodevelop installed with
/home/misc as prefix (all built from git HEAD) and there is no other mono
environments
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set to /home/misc/lib/pkgconfig
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ contains misc.conf with /home/misc
and my PATH variable contains /home/misc/bin (and it is also part od the
secure path of sudoers)

And now I'm trying to install my own library, Artyom.Misc.dll

I've created a directory /home/misc/lib/artyom.misc and put my assembly
into this directory

I made a /home/misc/lib/pkgconfig/artyom.misc.pc with the following content:
Name: Artyom.Misc
Description: Artyom.Misc
Version: 1.0.0.0
Requires:
Libs: -r:/home/misc/lib/artyom.misc/Artyom.Misc.dll

and also installed my assembly into GAC (gacutil -i Artyom.Misc.dll -p
artyom.misc) and the assembly is signed with generated Artyom.snk.
It is now  in
/home/misc/lib/mono/gac/Artyom.Misc/1.0.0.0__53b45bc51cfa8f57/Artyom.Misc.dll
and there is a symbolic link to it in
/home/misc/lib/mono/artyom.misc (because of the -p artyom.misc)

What else is needed for this library to appear in MD References/Packages
dialog? Or have I done anything wrong?
