Hehe ... the ideal setup for pnetlib development (currently).. I really
think there's lot of work left on Pnet especially to reach ECMA completeness..

The major issue with compiling pnetlib is an type coercion bug which 
accounts for 124 of the compile errors .. The Semantic analysis has been
started on.. using the C compiler as a test bed (purely Rhys ... :)

Are you doing the mstools compile on the .NET SDK box ?... the cygwin+
.NET setup might be used to bootstrap pnetlib right now . The compile
step for Cygwin is as follows 

$ rm -f config.cache # to prevent the configure from caching the cscc compile
$ ./configure --with-mstools
$ make

Also I guess you don't need any help with the auto_gen.sh stuff ...

This should make it possible for you to compile pnetlib using .NET csc..
If you need any more help, please do ask ..
