During compilation the MCS compiler defines the __MonoCS__ sym-
bol, this can be used by pre-processor instructions to compile
Mono C# compiler specific code. Please note that this symbol
is only to test for the compiler, and is not useful to distin-
guish compilation or deployment platforms.

While Mono does work on Windows, I’m not sure that Microsoft.VisualStudio.* will ever be in the Mono gac. While one could use the mono compiler and run on .net on win32, i don’t think it is a very common use case. Using this define is probably a good solution.

If so, I’ll just move the VS stuff to #if
Also, the XmlValidator is work-aroundable – it means that the app may fail with a cryptic message on bad files, but that is all.
