[Opensim-dev] Mono 4.0 coming changes

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Can you run current OpenSimulator binaries under that Mono's CLR?  If so, then we can just build actual releases under 
older versions of Mono for now.

Otherwise, the project's usual practice has to been to support the Mono currently shipping with the major Linux distros. 
  So if absolutely necessary, for a while we may have to ship releases built under different mono versions.

As Oren said elsewhere, if you want to build OpenSimulator under this new mono it should be possible with a switch. 
Looking on the internet suggests

xbuild /tv:12.0

(don't ask me why this is 12.0 instead of 4.5, maybe it is 4.5 by now).
