[DotGNU]X11 winforms on os x

[Ian Fung]

I've been trying to get x11 winforms to work on os x. everything 
compiled perfectly but trying to run it i encountered two problems.

1) xsharp.dll is not copied to my default lib directory along with the 
other libs. so i just copied it myself. xsharp.dll exists in 
pnetlib/Xsharp/

2) When i do "ilrun FormsHello.exe" in pnetlib/samples/ it gives me 
this error. one reason why it may be like that is because on os x, the 
library files are called dylib instead of .so. so i have 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dylib.

Uncaught exception: Xsharp.XCannotConnectException: X/Windows library 
is not present, or could not be
located on the library search path.

gopal told me to compile with "make LIBTOOL=libtool" but this happened 
when i did that.
