[Mono-list] MBas compiled in VS.NET could not compile simple program

[Jonathan Pryor]

Shall I point you to FAQ #62, under the Compatibility section?

	...

	Furthermore, a 100% .NET application must not contain 
	non-standard data streams in the assembly. For example, Visual 
	Studio .NET will insert a #- stream into assemblies built under 
	the "Debug" target. This stream contains debugging information 
	for use by Visual Studio .NET; however, this stream can not be 
	interpreted by Mono (unless you're willing to donate support).

Granted, the FAQ is ENORMOUS, so it's likely that not everybody reads
all of it, but it's somewhat depressing to go off and write such
wonderful entries and have them be ignored...  :-/
