Well, since it was an end-user on #-alpine-linux who raised the
question, and I don't personally have a need for mono plus adding in
the banishment of support from ncopa:) I wouldn't be the one to make
the apkbuild...  I guess since I don't see Third3ye on #alpine-linux
ATM (user who requested mono) it can wait/not get built.
