[Mono-list] C++ to CIL compilers?

[Scott Boston]

The free-for-download MS .NET SDK also includes command-line compilers
for C#, VB, JavaScript, and C++.  Many other languages have
compilers-to-IL available from non-MS sources as well, such as Perl,
Eiffel, etc. 

Be sure to read the MS compilers EULAs before using, of course ;)
