[Opensim-dev] Mono 4.0 coming changes

[Mike Chase]

There are packages for recent Mono for all the major distros and source 
for the obscure ones.   The 2.x series isnt "supported" by the upstream 
project.   I don't personally see a good reason why you can adopt a more 
recent version and standardize on that,  the packages are available.
