-mcs is the Mono C# compiler, an implementation of the ECMA-334
-language specification.  You can pass one or more options to drive the
-compiler, and a set of source files.  Extra options or arguments can
-be provided in a response file.  Response files are referenced by
-prepending the @ symbol to the response file name.
