+ * A CIL bytecode interpreter (<b>mint</b>). This
+ currently can be used to run most .NET programs
+ (modulo the fact that our class libraries are not
+ complete enough).
+
+ <b>mint</b> can currently run the Mono C# compiler and
+ the compiler generates valid code.
+
+ We use <b>mint</b> as a reference implementation of
+ the runtime environment and to quickly support
+ non-Intel platforms.
+
+ * Metadata library: Can currently parse
+ and load information from .NET modules (executables
+ and DLL files).
