A small point - can this be in the directory bin/lib/.NET/ rather than Windows/? This makes it clear that it's a
library directory and only required under .NET (since you can theoretically run Mono in Windows, though admittedly
probably pretty much nobody does this).

Yesterday I tested my code, and already patched it to load the

It was put at first attempt to load it from PGSQL module. and it worked fine at
windows. I didn't tested on linux yet.
and still need to test also on Robust.
The implementation was exacly what Sean described, an event that is fired when
any assembly isnt found at default
directories, then I verify if it is running Mono environment and only use
Assembly.Load when it's not. The librarie is
stored at bin/windows folder, so the program don't load it unless for this code.

We used to ship Mono.Security.dll with libopenmetaverse. It caused
all sorts of trouble for Linux users, because mono on startup will
load the one from cwd preferably. So shipping it in bin/windows that
mono will not know about is the only way to go.
I wish we thought of this approach back then ;)
