Not sure how to fix it.  We could use a non-standard extension for C#
source files, e.g. .csharp.  It seems to work at least with the Mono
compiler, but the man page warns that 'C# source files must end with a
".cs" extension.' so I'd rather not.

We could use <target>.csharp as the target name in mmc --make but
write out .cs files.

We could deprecate the <target>.<ext>s syntax and replace it with
something like <target>.all_<ext>s.
