    Thanks for the mention. ;-)
    The project is maintained by me, and currenty, I am time crunched. I am
also working on WebControls in Mono and on csmail, which I think are more
important than JILC. Anyway.

    Well, if you look it that way, then I guess, it'd be better to design a
"gcil" that would directly emit the IL-bytecode instead for first making a
for-java structure and then converting it to for-IL structure for final
output. I think, making "gcil" should not be of much problem (evensomore
once you have "gcj" in your hand as reference)
