Ok.  Please be frank; if my feedback is not welcome at this point then I
am happy to wait until gmcs is reintegrated into mcs.

I've had some success, but when I come to resume the build process I hit
problems.  gmcs doesnt like implicit implementation of indexers - here
is one such error:

System.CodeDom/CodeNamespaceImportCollection.cs(87) error CS8025:
Parsing error
syntax error, expecting IDENTIFIER
Mono.CSharp.yyParser.yyException: irrecoverable syntax error
in [0x00313] (at /home/src/mcs-0.30/gmcs/cs-parser.cs:991)
Mono.CSharp.CSharpParser:yyparse (Mono.CSharp.yyParser.yyInput)
in [0x00029] (at /home/src/mcs-0.30/gmcs/cs-parser.jay:4434)
Mono.CSharp.CSharpParser:parse ()

All the errors so far have the same methods and line numbers inside gmcs
