AFAICT, they're not _really_ config files.  A config file is something
that a person might be expected to change.  Instead, these are more like
data files which tell mono how to do it's native dll importing by
mapping a generic name (say libc) to an actual shared library name that
exists on the system (libc.so.6)

Also, it's hardly littered across the filesystem -- they end up
under /usr/lib/mono/gac/<package>/<version> which seems sane as well

Think of it more like the pkgconfig "config" files (which are just data)
as opposed to config files in the httpd.conf sense
