I used it to help me debug the Mono cert store issues I was having (it's
easier to work with a standalone MD project than the whole Mono tree,
when doing breakpointing & object inspection). There are sane changes
that should reach everyone, e.g. not throwing exceptions all the damn
time if the command-line syntax isn't perfect.
