C.  All C code is within a support library invoked by C# through
P/Invoke, and thus needs to export a C ABI.  (C++ with ``extern "C"''
could be used as well, but C is the currently chosen language for a
number of reasons.)

Most of the SWF controls are C#.  I imagine that the "C knowledge" is
for two things:

  - Understanding the underlying X11/Win32 API, so that appropriate
    P/Invoke declarations can be written.

  - Writing the MonoSupportW library, which has several helper routines
    for non-Win32 platforms implementing Win32 API calls.  The 
    MonoSupportW source is in the `mono' svn module, in the `support'
    directory (support.c & support-heap.c).
