[antlr-interest] C# Tool on *nix Platforms

Is the C# tool available on the antlr.org website (C# 3 runtime
distribution) supposed to be compatible with Mono on *nix platforms?  When
executed on Mac OS X and Linux, the tool fails to find the .stg files for
any language, and it seems to be an issue in AntlrTool.cs, line 127:

TemplatesDirectory = Path.Combine(ToolPathRoot, @"Codegen\Templates");

On *nix platforms, the use of a back-space character here is invalid.  An
extra Path.Combine call here should fix the issue.  However, the solution
does not build with Mono's xbuild so I am unable to test it.

If this tool is known to be incompatible with Mono on *nix, are there any
future plans to add compatibility?
