Right, that's the first thing I looked at. The reference is there on the 
GStreamerSharp project, and I see the ``using`` declaration for 
System.Linq, but it still throws that error when I build the project.

Regarding the build process, if I can get a working build manually, I 
would be very interested in helping automate the process and 
contributing to the official Windows port of Banshee. While I am not a 
C♯ programmer, I do maintain an ASP.NET C♯ application at work, where I 
am responsible for the build and test procedure, so I have some 
experience with release engineering in that regard.

With regard to pulling in the dependencies at install time, I noticed 
yesterday that the Pidgin Windows installer actually fetches the GTK+ 
runtime by HTTP if it isn't already installed. Obviously that wouldn't 
work for users without Internet access, but perhaps we could have a 
separate "offline" installer in those cases. My vote is definitely for 
installing the dependencies as their own packages, though, in either 
case, as opposed to dropping the assemblies into Banshee's install 
directory.
