1) The ml-pnet package doesn't build here. 

I can build ml-pnetlib-0.6.2 as following (pnet installed in
/usr/local/dotgnu/debug/): 

<input>
 export PATH=/usr/local/dotgnu/debug/bin:$PATH
 ./configure --with-pnet=/usr/local/dotgnu/debug
 make & sudo make install
</input>

The ml-pnet from cvs however fails to configure: 

<input>
./auto_gen.sh
export PATH=/usr/local/dotgnu/cvsbuild/bin:$PATH
./configure --with-pnet=/usr/local/dotgnu/cvsbuild
</input>

<output>
Supply the --with-mono-sources option
</output>

Giving the path to the mono sources: 

<input>
./configure --with-pnet=/usr/local/dotgnu/cvsbuild/
--with-mono-sources=/usr/local/src/mono/mcs-0.30.1
</input>

fails to compile (forgive me the long lines):

2) There is a problem with the decimals, which also exists in the
current release: 

// decimals.cs
using System;

class cases
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        decimal a=1m;
        decimal b=7m;
        Console.WriteLine(a/b);
    }
}

<input>
ilrun decimals.exe
</input>
prints: 
<output>
44834799017975888171469461274
</output>

The same assembly with mono gives: 
0.1428571428571428571428571429

Anyway: great work, guys!!
