You can either discuss this here, on this mailing-list, since it will
leave a google-able trace of the discussion. Otherwise you can try to
ping me on IRC (e.g. #monodev on GIMPNet) and we can post a resume later
here.

There are quite a few things to be aware in order to implement this
(since it involves OS level features, tools and the class libraries). I
think the best step would be, for you, to describe your understanding of
the issues and I'll fill the blanks (in any :-).

Thanks,
Sebastien
