I thought of the following lines in the Makefile.am:

mono --debug $(ASSEMBLER) --ecma $(srcdir)/corlib/en/ --ecma 
$(srcdir)/System/en/  --ecma $(srcdir)/System.XML/en/ ...

This is where the assembler is being called, and as you can see all the 
assemblies that are being used have been added to the makefile by hand. So if 
we add more assemblies to monodoc we must also take care to add them here as 
well otherwise they won't make it into monodoc.

Could corecompare be extended to compare argument names as well? Otherwise it 
would be quite fun and time intensive to look at each argument name and 
compare them to the MS names.
