[MonoDevelop] Building a minimal standalone mono runtime + mcs

[Alan]

Depending on your OS of choice, this could be done already. Mono on
windows and mac typically comes as a single installer. If you want to
remove bloat you can simply delete assemblies which you do not
require.

Mono for Debian is split up into many packages already, so you'd get
the 'minimal' install by default as you only install exactly what it
is you require.
