Verily I say unto thee, that Tom Shelton spake thusly:

That's more than a little disingenuous, since libbeagle's entire purpose
is to provide bindings to Beagle, without which it is rather pointless.
The fact is that I do not want Mono, nor any of it's supporting
infrastructure (regardless of what language those supporting libraries
are written in) anywhere near my systems. A lot of other people concur.
Also it seems that Debajyoti Bera (Beagle) is as determined to poison
Free Software with .NET as de Icaza:
