Using a 'm' prefix can only ever be a short term fix. What happens when there a multiple stable versions of mono that need to be installed side by side ? you can't really do m1.0ilasm.exe ans m1.1ilasm.exe




In the past there was a problem with the versions and the "alternatives" system solved the problem. In my debian, I've got 3 versions of gcc, gcc-2.95, gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3... the alternatives system makes a symlink from "gcc" alone to "gcc-X.X" where "X.X" is the version.

For the problem with ilasm I think we can change our name and use
alternatives. "monoasm" is a very good name (like "monodis"). But we
can't do that because a couple of applications will try to load
"ilasm.exe" and that applications don't uderstand of symlinks... it
could crash the apps.

But, as far as I know, apps don't have to know about symlinks... that's why the fs
exists for, isn't it?
