You can write your application in a shared library and then make your
primary executable an application loader. dlopen() after you've setup
your GC.

Some commercial products did something similar to this to deal with
bundled vs. user supplied gtk+ as well as glibc band-aids, etc.

As for mono, it doesn't use GMemVTable.
