Mono apps in extras

[Linus Walleij]

Looking back at the recently announced OIN initiative, in retrospect, what 
I claimed was NotTrue(TM) proved to be TheTruth(TM), down to the 
individual company names. This was an educated guess (really, Greg I hope 
you didn't fall over each other trying to figure out how this guy in 
Sweden could know what you were doing) so if anyone is looking for an OS 
business analyst... :-)
