There is a "ROTORTODO" comment inside a FEATURE_PAL block: https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource/blob/fa352bbcac7dd189f66546297afaffc98f6a7d15/System.Web/HttpRuntime.cs#L304 Rotor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Source_Common_Language_Infrastructure PAL: Platform Abstraction Layer. So it probably makes sense to enable (or to look closely at) FEATURE_PAL when compiling for Mono.

[Mono-dev] .NET Reference source terminology
Hi All, Has anyone got any idea what FEATURE_PAL is? It's a define, and seems to have a lot of comments around IIS, and that if it's Enabled, then don't do IIS stuff. Seems like something that we could just add in our stuff to exclude alot of windows specific stuff without having to add our own defines? e.g. https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource/blob/fa352bbcac7dd189f66546297afaffc98f6a7d15/System.Web/HttpRuntime.cs#L139 The best explanation I've seen says it's the "Platform Adaptation Layer", and is to do with compiling it for other architectures such as ARM. Seems like something that we would want to enable? I'm sure there will be others, so do we think it's worth putting up a glossary on the mono site?
