Mono includes a binary analogous to Microsoft's 'xsd.exe' which they
renamed 'xsd'. It is an XML Schema compiler for .NET and as far as I
know it is not very widely used. So if you don't use 'xsd.exe' in
Mono yourself, you can simply instruct rpm to override the conflicting
file by providing the --replacefiles option. No other applications
in Mono will be affected by this since xsd.exe is normally invoked
by developers.
