[MonoDevelop] [Mono-list] SqlCeServer on mono

[Manuel de la Pena]

That was my first idea... But I though it would be a lot better thing  
to do for the "community" to create the name space, that way  
application that already use the sqlce technology could be compiled  
on linux with "no problems".
