 Is there any chance that it can be fixed along with the early-loading

+On the compiler issue, it *might* work after #1 is finished, but no
+promises. The problem is that we load types using System.Reflection,
+even if they are not directly referenced. So, if something caused a
+dll to be loaded that did not exist, you might get an error.

+The compiler issue is completely seperate form this bug. If we want to
+continue discuession on it, lets open another bug.
