+I'm not so sure it's not a bug - so I'm reopening it. However I'm not
+sure why it worked on 0.28 or works on Windows 2000 without working
+under XP (maybe because of the different loader ?).
+
+The System.dll assembly should be using the ECMA (not really a) key
+for it's strongname. This means that MCS _should_ be able to include
+it into the compiled assembly (if/when Mono's System.dll use the ECMA
+key). Any runtime should be able to use the ECMA key by substituting
+it with it's own.
+
+We'll face a similar issue with non-ECMA assembly used by Microsoft.
+In this case I think we should treat the MS key as the ECMA key. This
+way assemblies created by MCS will work on the mono runtime and the MS
+runtime without problems. Other runtime using the same "trick" should
+also be compatible.
