+Summary: CSC namespace error that MCS doesn't catch
+
+CSC seems to have implicit 'using' directives based on the namespace
+currently being compiled, or something like that. It will give compile
+errors on files that MCS accepts.
+
+Example:  Mono.Data.SybaseClient/Mono.Data.SybaseTypes/SybaseDecimal.cs
+
+MCS will compile Mono.Data.SybaseClient without complaints, but CSC will
+bomb with an error equivalent to "No such class Mono.Math.Pow, maybe you
+need a /r: flag."
+
+That file has "using System;" and invokes the function "Math.Pow", but for
+some reason CSC thinks it should look in the "Mono." namespace first (there
+is no "using Mono;" directive). The only reason I can think that it would
+do that would be because the namespace being compiled is
+Mono.Data.SybaseTypes. Clearly csc has no built-in Mono specifics.
