Personally, I'm happy with this choice.  Everything that can be
written in C# should be -- that way we'll end out with a consistent,
coherent system of re-usable components.  And can deal with C only
when it's absolutely necessary.  Unless I'm misreading something, I
think that the goals of Portable.NET and Mono are sufficiently
divergent that they should try to co-exist and *not* merge, even
partially.
