Is the patch that I've posted 
(http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2007-January/022036.html) 
going to be considered ?
It's unintrusive, only a bit of stack manipulation before the calls and at 
the start of the method's prologue.

I'm trying to bring the C++ interop features of the C++/CLI compiler to 
mono, but it won't work for Visual C++ libraries without this fix.
