A `.in` file is an "input" file, often processed by sed, to replace various
strings within the file.
In the case of Consts.cs.in, the string to be replaced is @MONO_VERSION@, which
is done by mono/mcs/build/Makefile [0]
common/Consts.cs: common/Consts.cs.in $(wildcard config.make)
test -n '$(MONO_VERSION)'
sed -e 's,@''MONO_VERSION@,$(MONO_VERSION),' $< > $@
