The project files are likely out of date, so you may have to fix them 
first, like adding a reference to Mono.Posix.

You'll also have to do update the reference to MWF for any assembly that 
references System.Windows.Forms.  If you are using 3rd party assemblies 
or assemblies you do not have the source for and make them all point to 
MWF, you will end up with errors like you saw that it cannot cast 
between Control and Control, as one is the SWF Control, and the other is 
the MWF Control.
