Well, we may want to split mcs into mcs.exe and mcs-compiler.dll and then integrate it in
some way with System.CodeDom.Compiler.  Once we can execute dynamic assemblies, this could
also return an Assembly on which you could just call Run().

However, this may involve some larger modifications in mcs since we're using global
variables in some places for performance reasons.
