Why not a shared resource of single-compile across .NET/Win32?

I wonder if exist this kind of code (open source - I am aware of at least
a StringBuilder for Win32) or if exist interest in have it. Looking in
my own task of build MUTIS (a search engine library) I identify this
"inconsistences" across both plataforms:
- String identification (unicode or AnsiString)
- String manipulation (mutable vs. inmutable) = use a stringbuilder
- Stream and some IO...
- Some list classes (like hash)
- .NET objects have methods like returning the hash, not available in Win32
The focus is in have core classes only...
I'm working with another guy in build this for MUTIS, but I consider
innecesary have it tied to this particular project...

Attributes and reflection. A lot of .NET stuff uses attributes, and they
won't work without full-blown reflection, so ...

But this is a no-option in Delphi Win32 too. I don't plan in reimplement
.NET, only simplify the basic task...
Probably I run this under MUTIS project and becuase is under Apache
licensing, everybody can grab it anf if want, improve...

But it may be an issue, since some things are done with attributes in
.NET, not code, so your code may not port from Win32 to .NET. If you do
anything with components, for instance, this is likely to be a problem.
It's something to bear in mind, anyway.
