8This wrapper was developed using the Mono project's C# implementation.
9It isn't done, and it hasn't yet been tested with the MS C#
10implementation, however, in theory it should work. Here are some salient
11ideas behind this implementation:
12
13- I don't use IntPtr, because it is basically a void* that
14  removes type information and begs for coredumps to occur later.
15
16- I also don't use data marshaling for aggregate C-types. Instead I
17  merely access the structure members directly from C# unsafe code, just
18  like you would if this was C code.
19
20- The only data which is marshalled is function arguments and data which
21  is pulled out of or put into C-structures.
22
23- There are many things still todo before this is a fully working
24  module, but the basics are there.

27TODO:
28
29- more tests (look at ruby/test/hdftest.rb for an example)
30- do something better about mapping hdferror to exceptions
31- recheck the function prototypes to make sure I'm handling all
32  arguments
33- handle next(), prev()
34- make iterator for child nodes
35- allow registration of upload callbacks and data-formatters from C#
36- open up access to other parts of cgi and util
37- sample code for using inside mod_mono, includign CSPage.cs
