[Gtk-sharp-list] MS Visual Studio Support

[Rafael Teixeira]

For starters, The component model for GTK# is very different from
those found in WInForms/WebForms ones. I dreamed of making a
compatibility layer because the self-describing components in that
chain-of-containers-as-service-providers model, lends itself to simply
develop extensions of existing controles or writing of powerful new
ones That layer would be an thin, but there's a broad API to cover.

The real blocking "stone" is that also some 'magic' code would be
needed to correctly draw/interact with the widgets at design-time on
VS.NET. As that code would be Windows-specific (only reusable on
SharpDevelop) no one so far was interested on developing such code
(and that would be no small amount of "magic" code, either).

Forgive my ramblings,
