[Mono-list] Using ms libraries

[Jaroslaw Kowalski]

No, because there are some "internal" functions in mscorlib.dll that link
into MS runtime. There are some functions in mono's corlib.dll that link
into Mono runtime, so these two can't be interchanged.

So, as for the corlib - the answer is "no".

But I think it would be interesting to check if other MS libraries work with
Mono (System.Xml, perhaps?)
