Yes, that is a issue, but using *.cs is like saying: compile some random
files...
A tinderbox system can help the building issue (though everyone should
try to test compile with the mono runtime anyway, before committing).

BTW, juli mentioned -false is not available in all the find
implementations, so your changes broke the build on BSD systems, for
example.

We prefer to explicitly list the files that need to be compiled, so
we want to go back to the lists: can you back out your changes?

Thanks.
