We might want to usea precise collector in the future, but it is not
something we have plans for in the 1.0 time frame of Mono.

Intel's ORP has a fenomenal precise collector, and although we would
like to adapt it, we are happy with Boehm right now, and there are
plenty of other areas that require our attention.
