[Mono-winforms-list] Running a MWF app on solaris

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi there,

After compiling Mono on OpenSolaris I was able to run Plastic on it... 
you can watch it in action in the following screencast:

Linux, MacOS, Solaris... once we've a debugger on MacOS and Solaris I 
bet Mono will become the strongest multi-platform framework out there... 
:-) It's really, really good to see what can be achieved!
