I guess I'm the least concerned about this because of the fixes applied
in git. They still haven't cut a release yet so I'd guess we should just
create a mono-xsp_git.bb.

We might be able to work around this by setting $GMCS, judging from
configure.ac.

> mono-addins_1.1.bb

We might be able to work around this by setting $MCS, judging from
configure.ac.

Beyond that, I suppose the most OE-y way of solving this would be to
promote your script to a full-blown package that PROVIDES gmcs, such
that mono3 PROVIDES gmcs and mcs, but mono4 only PROVIDES mcs. Or
something like that.
