[MonoDevelop] #D coorporation

[Ben Maurer]

I very much like the idea of a common reprository for MonoDevelop and
SharpDevelop. This would sure make it easier to do stuff. We should work
to identify this base code, make sure there are no dependencies other
than the standard classlibs (no system.drawing stuff, etc).

The parser is pretty fast, however when I worked on some large files
(the mcs compiler has some that are > 100kb), I had some trouble. Note
that I have a pretty slow computer (sub-gigahertz), but when I run
Visual Studio.net on a computer with a windows computer that has a
slower CPU and half of the ram i have (I have 512), I was able to edit
the MCS files with ease. Also, it took quite a while for me to load
corlib.

There are also some major performance enhancements in our svn, I did
alot of work early on to reduce the speed of loading the code completion
database. Feel free to steal^H^H^H^H^Hreuse my work, the patches should
be small enough that copyright assignment is not needed. (Code
Completion database is another area we can share code in).

Maybe we should have >common< repositories for some code ? I think a  
fair amount of the 'base' code
(and the core of course :))  could be used for both projects.

I don't steal I re-use :)

I thought about this too ... but currently I'm having to do in other 
areas :) and the parser process is relative
fast but parsing only the changes is better.
