Hello Scott,
sorry for the late answer.

I've looked at the failures of gencli under windows: most of them should 
be easy to fix, I'll do as soon as possibile (not before next week, btw).

About the benchmark, I think that the result in wrong, because it's very 
likely that the build couldn't be performed because of a bug in MS ilasm 
I've not yet found a workaround for.

ciao Anto
