[ale] Hello World - in C# - in Mono - in Ubuntu is done

[Jeff Hubbs]

  My intuition strongly tells me that if writing cross-platform apps is 
what one wants to do, one would avoid using a language that is sourced 
by a non-neutral vendor of one of those platforms.  There are just too 
many other non-corporately-sourced languages with open source 
implementations and/or compilers.
