Hello guys,

I'm thinking about importing DBLinq sources into mcs tree as the
System.Data.Linq implementation.

The basic direction in my idea is simple:

- Copy dblinq src directory under mcs/class/System.Data.Linq,
  replacing existing files, and put System.Data.Linq.dll.sources.
  For now I just did "find src -name *.cs" and removed extra ones.
-- I'm not sure if I remove extra sources. Maybe I will.
- We (I?) likely do it when there is a new feature in dblinq or
  a new release when we want sort of stability.
-- Pablo should get our svn access and become able to commit the
   changes in mcs tree as well, of course ;)

In case you don't get it, here is what I did:
http://veritas-vos-liberabit.com/tmp/2008/System.Data.Linq-20080930.zip
(Replace mcs/class/System.Data.Linq with the archive content.)

To not introduce extra complication with related to build
dependency, I took the way to import the sources on occasion.
It would be the easiest way to do it.

Better ideas? Tell me :)

There are some TODOs:
- For now we don't build "DBMetal" but that it should be done at
  some stage. I'm not sure if it is doable with current design.
-- The source tree layout (having them under mcs/class) is not
   really a problem; our *.dll.sources could point to the sources
   under mcs/class/*.
- We'd like to support other DBs than SQLServer. (Needs some
  changes in other providers/vendors.)

If everything sounds good, I'll start importing the tree next week.
