 But we need to let other folks like Jackson, Paolo and Zoltan weight
 in on this subject, we might be able to get this feature in time for
 1.0 (no guarantees yet).

+This is a relatively simple feature to implement (issue #1). We just
+need to remove the code that loads all referenced assemblies when an
+assembly is loaded and change some code to use mono_assembly_load
+instead of search_loaded when looking up assemblies (for example
+custom attributes only searches loaded assemblies). This will actually
+be slightly slower then loading all referenced assemblies at load time
+for most cases. I will look into implementing this shortly. As always
+other issues may arrive though....
+
+As for issue #2, I haven't done enough research on private bin path to
+know exactly what needs to be done. My guess is that this feature will
+take longer to implement and we MAY not be able to get it into Mono
+1.0. I'll invest some time on this today and update when I have more
+info. Gert do you have a suitable workaround for this, or is it
+completly critical for Nant? How come you need to use a separate
+log4net? Possibly it would be easier for us to fix the log4net issues.
+
+Thanks for the report Gert, it is appreciated,
+Jackson
