Yep, that's what I ended up doing. The library compiled flawlessly and so
did the main executable.
Unfortunately I seem to be having some troubles accessing the serial port
and I am getting tons of run-time errors.
I read the basic communication example
(http://www.mono-project.com/HowToSystemIOPorts) but at no avail:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: I/O Error

baudRate, Int32 dataBits, Parity parity, StopBits stopBits, Boolean

Int32 writeTimeout, Int32 readBufferSize, Int32 writeBufferSize)
