I'm not sure this is exactly what you want, but it's possible, at least
in theory, to use the binfmt kernel module in linux to know that, when
you call ./foo.exe, where foo.exe is a CIL file, it should actually run
it as if you'd typed 'mono ./foo.exe' This doesn't require any
conversion of the actual executable, only a file telling the module
what to look for in the executable, and what executable to use to run
it (kinda like the #! line in a script) On my debian system, the files
are in /usr/share/binfmts, but that's probably different on different
distros. Oh, and it looks like there might be conflict between mono and
wine as to how to handle windows executables.
Hope that helps,
