Description of Problem:
#######################
A simple test application was made using System.Windows.Forms. The 
following is its source code:

---8<---
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class Test : Form
{
  Test()
  {
    Button test = new Button();
    test.Text = "click me";
    test.Size = new Size(100, 25);
    test.Location = new Point(15, 20);
    Controls.Add(test);
  }

  static void Main()
  {
    Application.Run(new Test());
  }
}
---8<---

This program was compiled first with CSC and runs fine under Windows. 
However, when the program is compiled with MCS, it does not run under 
Windows. The file is compiled with the following command-line:

  mcs -r:System.Windows.Forms.dll -r:System.Drawing.dll Test.cs

..and it compiles succesfully, but generates the following error when run 
under Windows with the .NET runtime:

---8<---
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly 
name Syst
em.Windows.Forms, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
File name: "System.Windows.Forms"

Steps to reproduce the problem:
###############################
1. Compile the source code above with the Mono C# compiler MCS.
2. Attempt to execute the resulting EXE file on a Windows machine with 
the .NET runtime. I tested Windows XP with .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1, and 
Windows 2000 with only .NET 1.0 and got the same results.

#######################
Additional Information:
#######################
If the binary is placed into the directory containing 
System.Windows.Forms.dll (on my system, 
X:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\), then it generates a 
different error:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: The located assembly's 
manifest definition with name 'System.Windows.Forms' does not match the 
assembly reference.
File name: "System.Windows.Forms"

Fixed on CVS.

But keep in mind that Windows.Forms is not yet supported by Mono.
