Well, IMO everything can be implemented, it's just a matter of finding
out the exact protcols, etc, etc. It's an issue of time.

But it seems like some parts (ldap for example) can be made 100%
compatible without much problems.

Well, it seems like everything *could* be done.

However some namespaces (System.Management comes to my mind) are
probably simply too much work for only small benefits.
