Yes, to pick up assemblies from Mono, which installs them there
by default.

You are probably correct.  If Mono and pnet could just agree
on a common location ...

Right now, garbage collection in pnet is "call libgc and let

own collector, but I've traditionally taken the approach of
"since it is so hard to get right, let someone else deal with
those bugs". :-)
