App.config dllmap entry portability
The dllmap configuration file entry is used in Mono to map requests for windows DLLs to Linux (.so) libraries. But it seems that if Microsoft's .NET framework tries to parse a configuration file with such an entry, an error occurs because it doesn't understand "dllmap". I think everything else in my distribution can be distributed unch...

But then the question becomes when you draw the line between the two and consi...
