[Mono-list] SharpZipLib and NCvsLib compiles under mono.

[Erik Bågfors]

Hi all.

Just wanted you all to know that both SharpZipLib and NCvsLib (from
SharpDevelop fame) compiles under mono/mcs.  I had to do some small
changes in SharpZipLib to get around bugs #28189 and #28407. But that's
not rocket science :).  I also had to change NCvsLib to use SharpZipLib
instead of NZipLib (the old name of SharpZipLib, NCvsLib still used that
old name, I guess I could have gotten cvs-code instead of zip-files)

The resulting dll's seams to have some errors in them though

That works alot better.

In NCvsLib I didn't even get the test-program running.

Still.  It's VERY close to working.  You guys have done an incredible
job.  I hope to have #Develop running some time in the future (maybe
using gtk# instead of winforms)
