Count me IN. :)

I very much want to help with the effort. My company will at some point this
year be joining the MS VSIP program for our own product line. I will be very
intimately familiar with the integration APIs for .NET and Visual Studio
fairly soon thereafter.

# Indeed, this would be very desirable.  However, I do not find the

I don't think anyone wants to inprison Mozart on Windows. However, I will
add that making a .NET port of Oz/Mozart would be a purely windows-specific
effort. ;)
