Hello,

The PDB file format is apparently undocumented.  

Apparently Rotor has sample code to read/write the PDB file format.  We
would need someone to:

	* Verify that Rotor ships with a PDB reader/writer (they might
	  be shipping a shrunk-down interface that generates other
	  symbols).

	  My *impression* is that they do not ship the real PDB format
	  from some comments that Jim Miller made, but I am not sure.

	* If this is the case, someone has to document the file format,
	  and publish the document.  This person can not contribute to 
	  an effort in Mono to build the new PDB reader/writer though.

Miguel.
