If it's easy to support folks who want to use the newer Mono, by the addition of another prebuild file, or a new argument to the build process, or even an in-place sed command (for example), then that's probably the path of least resistance, and something I'd certainly be happy to live with, until such a time as the newer Mono versions become more commonly distributed, at which point things perhaps should reverse, such that people wanting to use the older Mono versions should have to go out of their way to do so. Everyone would win this way, yes?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

And which distros currently ship Mono 4.x? And if there currently were any, would specifying an alternate compilation method be holding them back? We used to have multiple prebuild bat files. Maybe we need something similar for the new Mono.<br>
<br>
What about other software that uses Mono? What are they doing?<br>
