[Mono-list] Pure wrapper calling native code

[Maser, Dan]

   It's possible if you own the source to the unmanaged DLL can make ports to the desired operating systems.  My project makes heave use of both managed C# and unmanaged C++ dlls, and the C++ dlls I compile for both windows and linux.

Aren't native / unmanaged DLLs Windows only? If that's the case, then it's
not possible.
