Thanks for bringing that up - it wasn't something that I'd encountered, 
but it is useful to know. My apps are currently built using Jenkins on 
an Amazon cloud instance, which is running CentOS (I think - it is a 
hosted service, so I'm not sure), so I'm still compiling using an old 
library.

If that's true, is it a problem of targeting .Net v4.0 in general and 
running on other releases (including .Net), which don't properly support 
the 4.0 profile?
