Does the pre-JIT (or ngen) portion of the mono compiler work yet?
I do know that in MS .NET this currently works, so that .NET executables can be pre-compiled to native binaries during software installation ...
Just asking, because I am really interested in making a modular MONO software installation application. Would need some libraries (to do the installation from the distributors own installation software) and some shell utilities (to handle installation from other shell scripts). These components would then pre-compile the installed components so that the application can be run full speed out-of-box.
At the same time I am experimenting with my own native-binary distribution framework (called Exo-Runtime), but I might try some stuff with C#
