Just yesterday, I discovered that Saxon.NET was released.  They did exactly
what I would like to do, reuse the existing codebase in-tact, as java source
through IKVM static compilation to DLL.  Where it made sense (JAXP/TRAX
doesn't exist), they created a relevant C# wrapper.  Following up on that,
Drools.NET was released in the same manner.

These aren't 'ports' per say, but facilitating easy access from anything
running on the CLR.  They are also subprojects of the main project.

This has got to be the way to go.  One source codebase, two binary artifacts
for each project.  Wouldn't this just be a mod to the maven build to add the
IKVMC dll artifact?

Both iBatis and log4j have .net equvalents (perhaps others?) - maybe its
worth consulting them on how they "formed" their .net communities?
There also may be people interested in what you want to achieve.
