Yes I know. Fixing this in mono isn't easy because dllimport
statements are scattered all around. We'd also need
conditionals for different names in different NetBSD versions.
Or build C glue code and make dlopen() find it first.
It is just a single C# application (f-spot) whose feature set
I like, and that is told to be unstable even on Linux if the
picture database grows too large. Maintaining extensive patches
for mono is more than my time budget allows. (just seeing
that a new realease is out)

best regards
Matthias
