It's also worth mentioning that you cannot reference .NET assemblies that were not created / compiled using the MonoTouch .NET configuration.

So, if you have your favorite .NET 2.0 library, you will need to re-import the source code into a new MonoTouch project, compile it, and then reference it. It might be easier by editing the .csproj file, but I did not find it.
