[Opensim-dev] Needing Mono.Security.dll on Windows at PostgreSQL module

[Latif Khalifa]

We used to ship  Mono.Security.dll with libopenmetaverse. It caused
all sorts of trouble for Linux users, because mono on startup will
load the one from cwd preferably. So shipping it in bin/windows that
mono will not know about is the only way to go.

I wish we thought of this approach back then ;)
