Now I'm interested ... could you elaborate on that ? ... Because I'm
doing just that right now ...

We've got a C# compiler featuring 90% of features , of which only one
important feature is missing ... (rest are obscure, IMHO) .... A C
compiler for .NET , we're going to recompile glibc into IL and allow
people to just do "export CC=cscc" and compile .. 

It's been about 1 1/2 years of work into the project ... and it's fully
GPL'd ... 

Btw, we're doing a *complete* replacement ... which includes the server
components like "Microsoft Passport" and "Hailstorm" .... This comes under
our Auth umbrella , which is being tested to death right now ..

Exactly ... I would like to know about your project ... If that's an
independent project that is ...
