    This serves a number of purposes for me though:
    
    	* A big regression test suite for MCS.
    	* A big regression test suite for Mono.
    	* A chance to fine tune mono to run it at a decent speed.
    	* The change to run Eclipse on a full open source platform
    
    Finally:
    
    	* Provide feedback to Microsoft about their JUMP product.
    	* Convince Microsoft to open source JUMP ;-)
    
    Since Eclipse has its own toolkit, doing this is a lot easier than doing
    a Swing based application.


For me, the most interesting thing from all this would be porting SWT to
C#. 

Then it would be cooler yet to make Glade optionally use SWT, but then I
am dreaming too much.
