 * MCS: The Ximian C# compiler
 
-	The Mono C# compiler is considered feature complete at this

-	and many more C# programs (there is a test suite included that
-	you can use).  It is routinely used to compile Mono, roughly

+
+	The compiler is also fairly fast.  On a IBM ThinkPad t40 it
+	compiles 18,000 lines of C# code per second.
+
+	Work on C# 2.0 has started: some pieces of it are available on
+	the standard compiler with the -2 switch (iterators, method
+	conversions) and some others are available on the `gmcs'
