Currently to build mono in VS, one must download a VSDependencies.zip that contains required dependencies for building mono. This zip contains an older version of glib, as well as other things. On my machine I've upgraded to the latest version of glib on windows 2.9.5 and done some work to get things building with this. So, how could I get this back into the VSDependencies.zip (I assume we would rather be using this newer version of glib)?

It seems like the only thing the user really needs to download is the latest glib package. The only other thing I think I need from VSDependencies is an empty unistd.h file, and a sys directory with a time.h and a param.h. The unistd.h is there rather than #ifdef'ing the source code. I don't think there is anything special about the included time.h either (I'm wondering if I could just include the standard windows one)? Maybe we could remove the dependency for VSDependencies.zip altogether.

Also, I'd like to setup the release target correctly.

Any thoughts?
