Abe,

The C# stuff was contributed by YK Choo a few months ago.  He claims it
works for him, and I was able to get it to compile, so we thought it
was worth committing it to our CVS.  It does not build as smoothly as
other language modules.  You'll need to hack the Makefile.  See line
15.

Jumping the gun?  You're certainly heading off the beaten path here,
but why not try it out?

cheers,
Sean
