Well, I'll just have to wait for the author to produce a new release.  :(

But you didn't address the problems lang/mono is having on its command
line.  In addition to the core dump that results from using the
-pkg: flag, the -r: flag no longer works as intended.  Previously, e.g.,
-r:gtk-sharp would reference the gtk-sharp assembly without an absolute
path.  Now, lang/mono fails to reference an assembly without an absolute
path.
