Uhm, no, not anymore ;) That's the place of the 'old' Qyoto sources. I've 
written a new generator, that directly compiles .NET assemblies from SMOKE 
libraries. That's also what Dimitar is working on. It can be found at 
http://gitorious.org/assemblygen. Most of your qyoto patches should still 
apply I think (maybe with some modifications to the paths). Will try that now.
