16:37 A large chunk was completed last week
16:38 @alistair well Mono has its implementation, xbuild, and it lacks a lot of things
16:38 We had started to contribute to the open sourced msbuild, in the xplat branch, and were getting good traction
16:39 We were systematically fixing every test suite and fixing the code to make it work on Unix
16:39 The effort was to bring msbuild functionality as-is to Mono
16:40 But the msbuild team sort of took over that branch, and started chopping things left and right to make it work with CoreCLR
16:40 So we are left in the very uncomfortable position of the cross platform msbuild being now an unspecified subset of msbuild with the sole goal of supporting CoreCLR
