[Mono-osx] What about MonoMac is incompatible with WinForms?

[Duane Wandless]

Lee - I would suggest creating a simple WinForm app to test.  You do have to
call NSApplication.Init().  You may not need to call NSApplication.Main.
 I'm not positive about that.

The other suggestion would be not to use WInForms in your Mac app.  You will
have a much better user experience if you use Interface Builder to build
your Mac UI.  Yes it is almost doubling the work on the UI but at least to
me the result is well worth the extra work.
