[Mono-dev] Porting runtime - where to start?

[virgile.bello at free.fr]

The problem of AOT is that it only generates .so (or .dll on Win32 platform I
guess). Nevertheless, XBOX executable format, .xex, has to go through their
special compilator. So, no other way that I know than getting C++ code to
compile.
