[MonoTouch] Is default linker behavior in MonoDevelop/MonoTouch 1.2 now --nolink?

[Ed Anuff]

Thanks, I was just trying to make sure I fully understood what the new
linker options meant.  I had filed bug reports for problems that were
requiring me to use --nolink to get my app to run, but I'm happy to
say that, with 1.2, my application now works with all assemblies being
linked, which has resulted in the app being almost half the file size
it was before and it seems to be starting up a lot faster as well.
