Currently, we support "C# with VB.NET keywords".  i.e. the syntax looks like 
VB.NET, but the semantics is C#'s.  To compile, just use "cscc -o blah.exe 
blah.vb".  If the file extension isn't ".vb" for some reason, you can force 
VB.NET using "cscc -x vb -o blah.exe blah.vb".

Hopefully someone with cscc compiler experience will be able to find a spare 
month sometime soon to write the VB.NET semantic analysis routines.  I'd do 
it myself, but I'd be killed by the other DotGNU developers who need me to do 
some other things first. :-)

Cheers,

Rhys.
