Thanks for your reply Rolf.

We have already made C++ bindings so it can be used in a native C++ project
on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that uses mono as a dynamic library and our
library as a .NET dll, and that works fine. I had hoped a similar approach
would work on iOS, but obviously we'd need to get rid of any JIT compilation
and dynamic libraries. I figured this is the same problem that Unity and
MonoTouch have already solved.

Would I be correct in assuming that while not currently supported, this
method would work in principle, we'll just have to modify Mono ourselves to
get it done?

Since our library is already written in C#, it should already be possible to
use it in MonoTouch as is (maybe a few tweaks - I haven't tried it yet).
