Hi Michael!

Thanks for the information.  As a short exercise, I tried to run the
freeware version of CodeSmith (2.6) on Mono and it didn't work.  At least I
tried.

I was also thinking that CodeSmith should generate code that Mono can use as
well.

I'm writing on Linux mostly and I'm trying to really make this work since I
don't want to own a Windows box for this.  I'm scouring for everything that
I can about this.  

Thank you for the link on T4.  I'll be sure to read up on it.
