[Mono-list] Can mono be built using Visual Studio?

You are on the right path, I do not remember the details, but I was
under the impression that Mono can be made a fully native Windows binary
with no runtime dependencies on Cygwin (It is only used to build it).

I would love to have a VS "Solution" that would build it.
