[Mono-list] Port MSSQL implementation as well

The Mono project is very interesting and has tremendous potential.
Unfortunately it's not viable for regular web hosting on Unix, because
it's missing MSSQL. ASP.NET developers develop their ASPX applications
with MSSQL for the majority, and if you want to offer MSSQL, you need
a Windows Server, in the end you're better off using ASPX on a Windows
server in this case.

Creating a free implementation of MSSQL for Unix would set the
industry free from Microsoft, and web hosting companies could offer
full-featured Windows hosting using just free software, and at the
same price as LAMP hosting.

Thanks for your attention,
