Ok. 70886 is the number.

The spirit behind the design is to disrupt as little as possible the
user's flow. So the addin will interact with the user only when the
user needs to be made aware of something.

If there is nothing unexpected to report the default task view will do.

I found the following doc:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/TechNotes/ProgramArchitecture.pdf

is this a useful doc for getting this type of information?

I was thinking more along these lines:

When I get a Compilation Unit from the IDE, can I get it for Java
source files and C# source files? Or does the IDE uses different
"providers" of Compilation Units depending on the nature of the source
file?

I will check the languages bindings more thoroughly.

I ran ./configure but it failed because it could not find mono's .pc.  (?)

Anyway, I will get the sources from SVN. 

I am running RH 9.0 off the box (except the rpms that rug pulled down
for me to get mono-core and MD installed)

Is there a list of steps to follow or pitfalls to avoid in order to
get MD sources in working condition?

Thanks a lot!!
