Apparently I should have payed closer attention to the output of --help :D
"-noconfig[+|-]     Disables implicit references to assemblies"

I just recompiled with this flag, and it worked perfectly.

I had to add a few references manually (System.dll, and
System.Xml.dll), and I received one warning telling me that I didn't
need my own definition of Action<T> as it was already present in the
2.0 mscorlib.dll.

Now that I have resolved those few changes, everything compiles
perfectly, with no warnings about duplicated types, and has no
reference to System.Core.dll as verified by using .NET reflector.

I'd love to help, but unfortunately I don't have time at the moment,
and I'm not using any libraries that reference System.Core.dll so I am
unaffected :(

Thanks for the help!
