cool :)

WCF is not part of olive anymore. It is included in mcs sources.

You'll have to build mono/mcs from trunk (or daily builds).
This means you'll anyways have to run a separate build.

MonoDevelop 2.0 would work when you open and edit WCF assembly
sources in mcs (just open mcs/class/System.ServiceModel/Makefile
for example).
