: : This is not specific to java. You can configure your kernal to run *any*
: : file as an execuatable. Read the Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt in the kernel
: : source on your box.
: : What's better is that you can configure it to use either extension (like on
: : win) or use the file magic to find the filetype and run it ;) So your
: : executable need not be a .exe, it can be .xyz and still run :)

That's really an interesting info (at least for me).
     May be we can put up a readme for such a thing in the release versions of
Mono. That should be a cool thing.

 On windows, we have .exe, so it's easy. If we have something like this on Linux
also, that will be fundoo.

    But thinking otherwise, the output (executable) file that we get after
compilation has it's "x" bit set, so there's actually no need for all these
fundas, ain't? And, dll's never need to be executed directly. ;-)
