Re: [Xmlunit-general] XmlUnit.net XPathNodeTracker?

Would ikvm work here? The only usage I'm aware of is Saxon - I've no
experience with it myself.

Things that spring to mind:

1) ikvm. The only usage that I'm aware of is Saxon, but thought I'd
throw it out there.
2) ANTLR. Developed in Java; there is a C# version. Not sure how that
was ported, but given the nature of the project, I'm curious if they
managed to get some source-to-source translation thing going. I'm on
the antlr-users list, so I'll ask there and let you know.
