Do you think it would be worthwhile to just have folks use the .NET Socket 
support in Silverlight and not bother having a "ruby" socket implementation? In 
this case I still have to figure out how to conditionally compile stuff against 
the same Initializer.Generated.cs - I might have to add a pre-build step to 
force its generation.
