DotGNU Pnet is using ECMA spec's All.xml for the purpose -- but that
meant splicing an XML parser , a PE/COFF loader and a match function
between XML signatures and signatures from code. But I don't think
you guys could do that in C# easily (without completing System.Xml
or using Windows).

That's a bad attitude if I ever saw one . Are you hinting that ECMA is
under the control of Microsoft !. And mono is going to ignore ECMA and
support Microsoft's violations . Ye Gods , what more should I hear ?.
