[Mono-list] C#: Compiling Classes Independently - How?

[Maser, Dan]

  I wouldn't be too surprised if your rude behavior fails to inspire anyone to help you get your question answered.  

  Charlie Poole, thanks for taking the time you ovbiously took with your reply.

So the official advice is to shut up and deal with it ;). I think I can
understand why MS decided to do things this way. Something along the line of
'OMG look at all those class files everywhere' wrt Java. Why don't they both
understand that C got it right in times immemorial? That you should copy
exactly and never question the one true way!

Out of interest are there any build tools that manage Mono projects in a
sane manner or do they all face the same problem I've bumped into trying to
use make?
