Hello,

    I have just blogged about the various APIs that are missing when
trying to run software on Mono:

    The important bits are the links to the various API calls that are
currently being referenced by 244 applications.

    Thanks for Jonathan Pobst for creating an end-to-end solution.   If
it was not for Moma, we would have never gotten this list, except by
advancing one API at a time by brute bugzilla reports.

    It is not an easy to use tool, it runs trivially, and best of all
has allowed us to collect the data.   And the "whole package" experience
is really something that am not used to.

    Had we gone with my idea of shipping command line tools, we would
not be anywhere the current state (244 applications reported in 36
hours).

Miguel
