Taking a closer look at pkgsrc, I see that there are actually three
PLIST* files; the only one that refers to lib/mono/2.0/mcs.exe.so is
PLIST.Linux. This makes me suspect that it is cruft.

Fortunately, the source distribution contains an RPM .spec file which
confirms this; the %files section only indicates mcs.exe* under
lib/mono/4.5.
