Tom McLaughlin 29b08baecb (Long awaited) update to 1.1.9.2
Mono Changes:
    - Series release:	http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.1.9/
    - Patch release:	http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.1.9.1_0/
			(No 1.1.9.2 release announcement.)

Port Changes:
    - Add pkg-message to explain reasons for common build failures and
      note the need to possibly increase the number of semaphores from
      the default FreeBSD amounts.
    - Add preliminary amd64 support [1,2] which has been disabled for
      the time being due to lingering stability issues.
    - Force the Mono build to only write within ${WRKDIR} and no longer
      write to ~/.wapi which leads to...
    - Add bsd.mono.mk which is a common makefile all Mono consumers will
      depend on.  Currently this file sets the location of the .wapi the
      build process will write to.  Since Mono does not cleanup the
      semaphore created for a .wapi when the last Mono process exits
      this file also handles the removal of the semaphore created during
      port building so we do not exhaust the machine's semaphore limit.

************************************************************************
If you have build/runtime errors with Mono and Gtk# apps please try the
following first:
* Build Mono and gtk+ (x11-toolkits/gtk20) without CPUTYPE and with the
default FreeBSD CFLAGS as Mono has been known to expose compiler bugs.
- 5.x: '-O -pipe'
- 6.x and higher: '-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe'
* Try building and running Mono with the GENERIC kernel.
- Mono requires SYSVSHM, SYSVMSG, and SYSVSEM which are part of the
GENERIC kernel.
- Removing kernel options or changing defaults to use experimental
options can adversely affect Mono's ability to build and run.
* Remove leftover semaphores / increase semaphore limits.
- Close apps which use Mono and run `ipcs -sbt`. Remove the
semaphores with MODE "--rw-------" and NSEMS "8"
- _OR_ simply reboot which is the safest method.
- On multi-user systems the semaphore limits may need to be increased
from the FreeBSD default of 10 identifiers and 60 total semaphores.
The following should comfortably support 30 users.
# echo "kern.ipc.semmni=40" >> /boot/loader.conf
# echo "kern.ipc.semmns=300" >> /boot/loader.conf
By users we mean local users. XSP can serve multiple clients but
would count as only one user, the user running XSP.
