 The major issue right now is not the gmcs compilation bug (although that
 would be nice to fix), but the generic bits.  This is crashing the new
 Visual Basic compiler right now.

 This looks like a duplicate of that bug with the generic array interfaces.

+This is related to the issue with the implementation of the dozens of
+interfaces for all the type hierarchy of the element type of an array
+in the 2.0 profile. This can't be expressed in C# code and so requires
+several hacks in the runtime to add them automatically (and some way
+to provide the emthod implementations, too...).
