vbnc currently has two problems:
- not working on Mono (the bugs are most likely in Mono)
- only supports generating 2.0 binaries (no 1.1 support and gerenrics cannot 
be disabled)

Note that I tested vbnc on MS.NET with our VB runtime and I found that vbnc 
is able to work with it with one exception:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions should be completely 
rewritten because it supports different set of conversions than the 
appropriate <type>Type classes. This class exists because it has unique 
functionality.
