    Microsoft has an implemenation of the Java language called J# that
    can target the CIL execution engine. 
 
+Q: Is it possible to write a JVM byte code to CIL convertor?
+
+A: Yes, it is possible.  Here are a few starting point:
+
+       <ul>
+               * A byte code representation is really a flattened forest of
+                 trees.  Look at the Mono JIT engine to see how we compute
+                 the basic blocks (this is used to figure out the "trees").
+
+                 The forest is just an array of trees.
+
+                 Indeed, run the JIT engine with -d (mono -d prog.exe) and
+                 you will see how these trees look like.
+
+                 You will have to do something similar for Java.
+
+               * Each "forest of trees" has a meaning.  This meaning can now
+                 be translated into the equivalent "meaning" in CLR-land.
