Since the MSIL library requires pico to build it is impossible to build scala from source with a completely open source toolchain. This precludes inclusion of scala in fedora or debian, for example. It is possible to patch out the dotnet support, but that is certainly not the best.

I basically converted all of the case types to static instances and all of the switch/case caluses to identity if statements. It seems like I must be missing something, is there any sort of test harness that can be run to see if that patch is good?

Does anyone know why the source to pico cannot be made available?

Would it be difficult for us to just rewrite this library in Scala at some point?
