Well, you are partially wrong :-) On Linux/Unix, if you write C code, you
can build a shared object (with the extension .so) that is essentially a
DLL, that can be called from C# (Mono) with the same mechanism you would
use under Win32. If you write your code carefully, you can use the same
sources and just have different build environments for Windows and Linux.
