Thanks! Yes, setting the MONO_LOG_LEVEL env var does display the 
loading/unloading of assemblies.
The output of the logging is currently going to stdout.
I wonder if there is a way to send it to outputdebugstring.
thanks

Hi,

You could probably use Valgrind with Mono. See the monogrind.pl script
in the repo.

As for loaded assemblies, setting the log level (MONO_LOG_LEVEL IIRC?)
should show you that kind of information.

Not sure about the other points.

Regards,
Alex
