[scriptcs] x-platform compatibility

[filipw]

This was brought up before but I couldn't find an issue for that, so thought it should be logged (feel free to close it if I'm duplicating)

For example this simple piece of code (24 March nightlies):

  CSharpScript.Run(@"System.Console.WriteLine(""foo"")", new ScriptOptions().WithReferences(typeof(Object).Assembly));

Produces the following result on Mono 3.12.1:

Scripting isn't x-platform yet.

@tmat the hidden ploy here was to get you to commit to a milestone on xplat 😄 😄

Please please. This MUST happen!

Any idea when scripting will be x-plattform? Would really like to use it on my pi 😄

It's my understanding that much of the work to enable scripting is happening in 1.1. Does that included cross plat, even in a not-officially-supported way?

[ManishJayaswal]

scripting would follow the footsteps of clr pretty closely as far as x-plat support is concerned.

Scripting is now generally working on CoreCLR and Mono. There are some issues, but those should be tracked separately as we find them. Note for example that GAC is now supported on Mono: ea0ce9f

@filipw Could you please try to use the latest bits on Mono and report any issues? Thanks!

Great to see progress here.
