+1. This is no.1 on my personal itches to scratch at this point. I've requested the gump team for an installation of IKVM once mono is successfully installed. I've been trying to get POI to pass all testcases in IKVM (compilation is not a problem) ... some results are in the POI list archives, but i'll write it up on the site soon. Long term plan is to include IKVM based builds and tests for POI into gump. It will also be useful to release IKVM compiled artifacts for further testing.
