[illumos-Developer] Illumos Mono C# project - defining scope.

[Sriram Narayanan]

I think the JDk/JRE would be part of illumos based distros and not
part of illumos itself.

As a user, I'd run Java code on mono only when I'd need library
interop (like how we run JRuby code on the JVM and access Java
libraries). For non-interop scenarios, I'd use the JVM directly.
