[Mono-devel-list] Corlib feature survey.

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello guys, 

    Duncan did a Corlib survey of missing features or pieces that are
known to be missing chunks.   Dick is already working on a big part of
this: the CultureInfo related bits.

    You might find this useful if you want to contribute to Corlib.
