I don't want the whole of .net/Mono, just enough for IronPython and bindings for gtk. Enough of the CIL runtime to allow IronPython. Mono is heavy in the whole, but the CIL virtual machine runs better than the Python.org vm. I don't want all the ABI/API crap to run Windows programs on a Kindle (of course), I just want stdio and the ability to access Kindle screen. Java doesn't thrill me, and Javascript/HTML 5 isn't yet universal. Surely someone has already taken a crack at whittling Mono down to size?

eureka, I'm glad I put a smile on your face.
