[MonoTouch] Do the makers of Monodevelop actually test the application?

[Mike Muegel]

Rolf, I don't think Demis and I want a second "instance." We just want the
ability to open 2+ solutions at the same time but each solution is in a
different window (same MD instance/icon). Just like any other document
oriented Mac app, but the "document" is the solution.

Cjeers,
-Mike
