I designed it that way on purpose.  Only mscorlib is included by default, 
which is consistent with gcc which will only include libc by default.  
Because pnet has multiple profiles, some of which do not include every 
library, it is impractical to make cscc add "everything" by default.

It might be a problem.  Diagnostic settings haven't been heavily tested yet.  
Could you log this in the Savannah bug database, together with the contents 
of your conftest.exe.config file?
