I've tried compiling all MonoDevelop with gmcs, but then it can't load 
any plug-in, I don't know why. At first, there was an error with an 
specific library load that I managed to resolve, but then any code 
completion or code colorizing works.
However, I think MD should switch to the 2.0 runtime, because MD 1.0 
will sure target Mono 1.2, that already has generics support and so on, 
so everybody could benefit.
