Hey cool, I didn't know that C# had a preprocessor :)

Question to the Mono developers: Would it be worth making "/d:mono" or 
"/d:mcs" a default in mcs? That would make it possible to write code 
that compiles differently on Mono without having to specialcase your 
build scripts.

(this seems analagous to the fact that you can assume things like 
"#ifdef linux" and "#ifdef gcc" in C and get meaningful results without 
having to explicitly -D them on the commandline)
