I also would be interested. Cecil looks promissing but there's 0.0
documentation (not even a single line of comment in the source). A small faq
is provided but not that much else. The AbsIl toolkit is mainly targeted for
F# and also comes with little to no documentation... But perhaps not much is
needed, not sure.
manipulating pdb's is indeed a requirement for proper usage. At the
moment I can't find anything about that in the Cecil source. I know 'euss'
from Sebastian Ros/ Evaluant does this (euss is also open source)
