Awesome work! I have been looking for something like this for a long time. If we can get it working on Linux (Or preferably FreeBSD), I am very committed to testing it out and reporting issues. My compiler development skills are pretty much non-existent but I am happy to help where I can. Out

There are a bunch of thorny issues to consider. Do we want to support C++ CLI binaries done using the MS toolchain outside of windows? Supporting those requires writing a whole PE dynamic linkers, which is a huge amount of work. If not, we can very much simply use mono's AOT engine and produce a

There are a bunch of thorny issues to consider. Heh, I would imagine ;) I would not expect to support binaries from MSVC (even on Windows). After all, Mingw and obviously Linux versions of vanilla GCC do not support them due to things like name mangling. I would be extremely happy to just be
