[Mono-list] Combining JIT and interpreter

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

> Any suggestions as to what these other things could be ?

Here are some:

	* Implement generic code sharing (this is when the compiler
	  detects that the generated code for two different
	  instantiations of a generic method would have the same
	  code).

	* Precompilation (AOT) support for new platforms.

	* Win64 port.

	* Complete the Mono verifier (we have tests that are failing
	  in the verifier directory).

	* Add XPCOM or UNO support to Mono in addition to the current
	  Mainsoft COM support (coordinate with Jonathan Chambers).

There are other tasks here:

Miguel.
