Hi Paul!

WRT mono... tried to port it on several occasions and then gave up.  
Got to the point the mono CLI
was dissasm working. But not the interpreter, not talking about the  
JIT itself. Two basic common
things missing in our kernel for easy ports: virtual memory (and the  
libc mmap()) and threading (pthreads).

Somebody should provide these for FreeMiNT on the CF machine (and  
perhaps on 040/060) or you
risk porting modern packages will always be great pain + rarely ever a  
possibility for upstream
acceptance.
