[Mono-list] Platforms Mono will support?

[Stephen Homer]

Ah I see, so anything that doesn't use VBCodeCompiler should run okay or
is there something else, I don't see that this class would be used
particularly often and having the rest of the support there could be
useful.

VB.NET uses a few additional classes that are not in the System
Namespace.
They will need to be implemented before the VB.NET programs that use
them
