[Mono-dev] What is best environment for building mono-2.8.1 for Windows?

[Stifu]

Note that you don't need to fully compile Mono in order to contribute. You
could just build a single assembly, and replace DLLs of your Mono
installation to check out your changes. That's what I do for Windows.Forms,
which I build from my IDE (I just had to fix the csproj so that it builds).
