[Mono-dev] [PATCH] Source list per profile

I don't see anyone adding another profile other than NET_2_1 or whatever.

What if there was a hack where blah.jvm.cs files are only compiled for the
jvm target and blah.cs is not compiled in the jvm target if blah.jvm.cs
exists?

That way the sources file stays the same (allowing us to echo FILENAME >
blah.sources and use sort | uniq).
