If that's true, then we could start looking into making it work with .dlls.
What we may find is something similar to the mocking story: writing a new
one is just easier and makes more sense, e.g. caricature. RCov may turn out
to be useful only for Ruby apps and too difficult to make work with anything
else.

Here's an InfoQ link on some of the progress made by JRuby (and Rubinius'
FFI): http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/07/jruby113-rcov-rubinius-ffi-mvm This
might be helpful if we decide to attempt a straight port with C# extensions.
