IMHO We need also to convince Alexander to develop against some 
tagged release of MonoDevelop.

If you see my comments to his last rant, you'll see that Mono-D 
is not working even with the latest  'alpha' release of 
MonoDevelop, and if I've understood well (really, I'm not sure to 
have understood Alexander motivations about this) it is arguing 
that he needs the very latest code.

The point is that if a 20 days old release is "too old", I think 
we have a problem here...
