Perhaps you could drop in on the Mono mailing list mono-list at go-mono.org and introduce
your project? The CLI experts there probably have many ideas on C# interfaces to C code;
they've been wrapping every library they can get their hands on from what I can see, from
GTK to postgresql.

As one alternative, possibly. I read an MSDN article about wrapping Win32 serial I/O that
seemed to get similar heavy-lifting done while staying in C#. That solution did use
P/Invoke. On Mono, GTK# and the WinForms port could be using a mono equivalent or
implementation of P/Invoke.

I'm sure it will happen someday. A VB.Net compiler 'mbas' is underway. But the C# compiler
'mcs' is the main implementation, and the most full-featured.
