[Mono-list] MONO & R

[jmalcolm]

I do not know how many platforms you are hoping to run on, but you can use
System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform to detect the platform and then call
the appropriate native DLL for that platform.  There are ways of at least
differentiating from Windows, Mac, and Linux from within Mono.
