This is what we will be effectively doing in Mono, if only because
this way we can keep our runtime smaller (compared to the other
proposal).

If people in Portable.NET feel they need the attributed version, I am
willing to put any code changes they need, but I want to keep our
PInvoke implementation trivial, and to do so, we will stick to
generated unmanaged libraries to be the interface to the world.
