Mono (C#) support on Linux/Alpha

[Sergey Tikhonov]

Hello,

I have being working on getting mono (C#) working on Linux/Alpha.
Currently, the virtual machine is working (the JIT is implemented and 
bytecode is translated to native code).
I was able to build C# compiler and build necessary libraries (only for 
profile_1_1).
In general it could be used for some non-complex work. I don't expect it 
to be able to work with gtk, etc. native
libraries yet, but purely managed code should work. Native code would 
work if it is called with simple types
(like ints, floats, pointers. Passing complex structs by value is not 
supported).
There is no package yet, only source code is available via SVN.
If there is an interest, please check. :)

Regards,
Sergey.
