[Mono-devel-list] Strategy for 1.0 and 1.1

Well I think this is a great idea! Anything for the Compact Framework ?

I did a quick search on the source files but didn't find any match for
USE_VERSION_1_ - neither in *.cs or in the makefile.

So far I've only used USE_VERSION_1_0 to ensure default compatibility with
1.1.
e.g.
#if USE_VERSION_1_0
        public class KeySizes {
#else
        public sealed class KeySizes {
#endif

However unless the symbols are added to the makefile there's a chance that
the resulting compiled assembly will some become a mix of 1.0/1.1.
