On your home page at http://xmlvm.org/overview/ I can read that you 
support .NET CIL as input and as output. There is also a target "exe" in 
the command line. Is this a lie?

With a wrapper I means that if I use an API object in one 
language/platform the wrapper convert the API calls to the API of the 
other language. For example the java.net.Socket from Java should wrap to 
System.Net.Sockets.Socket. Or java.lang.List to System.Collections.List.

packages in Java or Namespaces in c#. I means which public API will be 
cross compiled? If I can not use any public API then cross compiling 
make no sense.

I understand that there are large differences in the GUI. I think on an 
abstract GUI API. Which will realize with a real API on the different 
target platforms.
