It is funny that you bring this up, because I just fired you an e-mail
about this precise subject.  For the sake of those reading the mailing
list, I believe that having two compilers share the current driver will
not work.

Visual Basic and C# have vastly different semantic analysis
requirements, and different ways of generating code, so at this point I
am very skeptical of using the C# code base as the VB compiler code
base.
