Hmm, I do not quite understand that (having worked extensively with both
MC++ and C#)

Is not MSVC 7.1 (part of the VS.NET 2003 for you MS lovers out there)
capable of producing verifiable MSIL using C++? So, what would the obstacles
be on different platforms (such as Mono and .NET Compact Framework)?
