Chummer is not cross-platform

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As of 2012-01-20 Chummer Build 441 does not run on MacOS or Linux/BSD operating 
systems.

Still the latest stable version of Mono (2.10.8) has not implemented the 
SplitContainer class for the System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize interface 
as defined by .Net 4.0 and consequently required for Chummer.

In the current beta release of Mono (3.0.3) this issue is fixed, but this 
version also fails due to many other issues concerning the incomplete .NET 4.0 
implementation.

Latest stable (1.4.1) and development (1.5.22) releases of WINE only work 
partially, because WINE still is not fully compatible with .Net 4.0. 
Unfortunatly some unhandled exceptions in calculations for cyber-/bioware e.g. 
prevent you from creating a new character.

This is a generic bug report. Chummer is a great piece of software and the most 
feature-rich and complete character generator for a pen and paper roleplaying 
game I ever came across. Please consider the use of cross-platform libraries 
for future development (for a new version for SR5 e.g.).

Thank you for making Chummer available as free and open source software.
