I suspect that just means that they're needed during the link phase when
building on Windows; if the point is binding to the .Net CLR, I imagine Mono
will have its own external dependencies in place of those.

(If they were direct dependencies --- meaning that .Net bindings used them
directly --- then Mono couldn't exist.)
