I completely agree.

Everytime I worked on making IronRuby working on Mono (IronRuby is
constantly kicking Mono's tires, which is very good), I used the
following workflow:

* Avoid any specific Mono branch.
* Fix any path/casing issue directly in the build files (csproj, ...)
* If the code compiles with .net's csc, and doesn't with Mono, file a
bug in Mono, and use a code form that works for both, if possible.
* If the code doesn't compile because of a Mono feature (better unused
local variable/field detection), fix directly in the source.

It also may happen that IronRuby triggers a bug in Mono, and thus,
requires Mono from master to compile/work.
