Hi there, If I look at the prefix of both gtk-sharp and tinymail's -sharp installation, I noticed that gtk-sharp has .config files installed.
Tinymail's -sharp install directory doesn't have these .config files installed. I'm not really immediately finding what in the build of gtk-sharp is installing them (I kept the Makefile.include identical for that part of the build Makefile code afaik). I'm guessing these config files are necessary for the .dll->.so mapping? Something like that is what they seem to contain as XML data. Obviously I mimicked them as good as possible using gtk-sharp's code. Also, what is this policy.$(API_VERSION).config file for by the way?
