[Mono-dev] Mono porting and splitted tests

[Zoltan Varga]

Hi,

  I had done mono ports to many platforms, and I didn't find this to
be a problem. You
can run mono using
mono -v --regression basic.exe
and it will print out each method as it is JIT compiled, so you can
see which one is causing
a crash.
