And, after some more fiddling with dll.config files, that worked.  Now
I'm running into crashing gnome-vfs bugs, of course, but at least I
grok most of the packaging issues now.  Word to the wise: do not use
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Ever.

I still have to propagate some hand-hacks to dll.config files back as
patches to the mono, gtk-sharp, and gnome-sharp sources.  When that's
done I'll post Portfiles and patches.
