That's the standard build system for .NET projects. You'll probably
need Microsoft's .NET implementation [1] to get it working. I have
ebuilds for an early version [2] but back then you couldn't even build
the corefx (.NET's standard library) on Linux so it's not much use. I
will update them when I get time.
