They could probably hide the steps with sugar, but the steps would be the
same. The unmanaged code would need to be compiled and linked and the
managed code would need a ref to it. They could package that all up and
include the unmanaged dll into the exe like ilmerge does or something to do
everything automatic. Not sure much call for that. I would like to see
simple include of managed dlls into the exe or master dll be really easy and
automatic however.
