[antlr-interest] Request for Strongly Signed Antlr3.Runtime.dll (3.0.1)

To put it simply: I do neither create a 3.0.1 nor do I bugfix it anymore. Nor should someone else bugfix it - see below.

You are the first I know who requires support for .NET 1.1. Currently, 3.1 supports .NET 1.1 and 3.2 will be the last release with the CSharp target included. Afterwards, the CSharp2 target will be the only one remaining. CSharp2 is already available in the latest beta. For further details about the differences between the two targets see the ANTLR wiki page about the C# target. Where did you get the notion that 3.1 kills .NET 1.1 support already?

I never looked into this myself, as my predecessor did all the required work. And you don't need doing it yourself anyway. :)
