+1  from  me.  Porting mono apps (or X11/Gnome/KDE, etc) and modifying
MiNT  just  because  future  (or imaginary) hardware _might_ run them,
seems totally academic to me. If such a thing happens, my choice would
be to stick to older stuff.

If  some  people  want to follow that route, I'd suggest they create a
fork.
