Buck Calabro, we're in "violent agreement". I don't want IBM to mess with
C#.

I want the full GNU toolchain and then I want IBM i *users* who advocate
open source to step up like open source users do in the "outside world" and
participate, do porting and documentation, etc.

Open source ethos hasn't entirely penetrated the IBM i community. It's
important to *like* and *use* open source, but open source exists because
the people who like and use it *work* on it.

I'm going to be That Guy.

Rather than have IBM talent spend time porting this or that particular
thing, I'd rather they spent their time making the full, normal, typical
GNU toolchain work. What does 'work' mean for me?
./configure
make
make install

When this is done, a very, very large universe opens up to us. In the
case of OP, there are many hundreds of gcc examples dealing with
cyphertext. I bet there are more gcc examples than C#.
