You can't just go load random assemblies from the GAC based on
namespaces, and even if you could this would break versioning and would
be horribly slow.

Note that the C# compiler also requires references to assemblies that
you want to use (although it does by default automatically reference a
few of the most common .NET Framework assemblies).

You have to run ikvmstub.exe on the .NET 2.0 Framework. To do this
create a file named ikvmstub.exe.config in the same directory as
ikvmstub.exe with the following contents:

<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>
<configuration>
        <startup>
                <supportedRuntime version=3D"v2.0.50727"/>
                <requiredRuntime version=3D"v2.0.50727"/>
        </startup>
</configuration>
