It doesn't. It just hard codes stuff that can be assumed in a Ximian
environment.

Sure, it looks weird, but there's not much you can do if you a) want to have
the not-boring file selector and b) want to stay API/ABI compatible. Perhaps
another design would work.

Note that I'm not really fussed about it. I think it's a greasy precedent to
include unnecessary patches, but it will satisfy the noisy people who are
satisfied by skin-deep changes.

Hmm. :-)
