The last time I tried (more than one year ago) the Mono ilasm didn't
accept the il generated by the mercury compiler, DotGnu did.

However if I built the libraries under windows and then run them under
mono, everything worked fine.

However the compiler has come a long way since then, so I suspect the
il grade has suffered some bit-rot.
