[Mono-list] Microsoft's compiler with mono's corlib! - Issues!

[bvv]

Hi Piers,

Could you explain what this tight coupling is?
I was thinking that since all mscorlib class interfaces are part 
of the ECMA standard it doesn't matter how you implement them as 
long as you provide all the necessary classes as per the spec. In 
which case i should ideally be able to mix & match the corlibs 
between different .Net runtimes.

Correct me if i'm wrong please

Thanks
