Hi.  I would like to gather the parts and begin to get my brain wrapped
about the C#3 target.  Where should I be looking?  I looked around on the
fisheye and found the sources for the runtime (which build fast and clean)
but I do not see the bin/BootStrap directory.  I am missing other stuff,
too, but I figure when I know here to look for this, I'll know here to look
for everythign else.

Thanks,
Kyle
