[Mono-dev] Retargetable issues

[Jose Cornado]

Alberto:

This switch refers to the capability of assembly "A" of running in .Net
Desktop and .Net Compact frameworks.

This has implications at the corlib and runtime levels.

As far as I know mono does not target the Compact Framework (CF) therefore
the retargetable flag does not work

Since CF is a subset of Desktop Framework (DF) you *should* be able to
recompile the assembly as DF and run under mono.

Maybe this is too much of a hassle, I do not know.
