Just to make it clear: there is no need of a win32 box and it's not the
best way either. You can compile mcs and corlib on linux/x86 and
linux/ppc for some months now.
It's also quite possible that in the next few months mcs running on the 
mono runtime will be required to build a non-crippled corlib, so
it's better if people get used to that.
