Why is gnome-do executed with an .exe?


Curious why the gnome-do has a dos executable? how is it run without the translators or whatever? what happened to needing wine or vmware or whatever?

"exe" is just three letters, it doesn't have to have any relevance to the code in the slightest, and they are not win32 applications, but mono / .net. Mono code is distributed with exe and dll extensions.
