[Mono-list] Porting MS C++ Managed Extensions

[Stifu]

Hello,

If you want or need to keep the unmanaged code, you could keep your
unmanaged dll on Windows, and have a "so" counterpart for Linux. That way,
depending on the OS your program runs on, either the dll or so file will be
loaded.

There is also a project to turn unmanaged invokes into managed invokes, but
I don't think it's mature enough or even usable yet.
