Let's not have .xyz on Windows and .exe on Windows. .NET uses .exe/.dll so let's stick with that. Either way there is no need to change (g)mcs to output a different file extension, you can do that yourself using the rename command if you like. > One example: Renaming the executables might lead to dead file links when a > main program tries to start the executable of a sub application called > "sub.exe", because it wouldn't be there when you rename those files to > ".exe.mono". >

There you can make sure that it can run with any extension and create the necessary mapping yourself in the registry if you like. If a user wants to connect it to another version of Mono simply have him change the registry setting.
