Sure, we had the same issue and corrected it by building the .NET dll instead as
a netmodule.  If you check out our project we have a batch routine that runs the
following command:

  csc /nologo /d:TRACE /t:module /out:ext\DotNetBridge.Core.so ..\Core\*.cs

Of course, you would use the appropriate compiler for the language you've
written you're DynamicLanguageSupport in, but get it build as a module.

The magic is that the .NET runtime requires netmodules to be in the same
location as the dll (or .so) files, not in the ruby\bin folder.  This, of
course, is highly desirable.

Hope that helps,
