Any .Net binding for irrLicht that supports Linux?

Hi,
I am a .Net programmer and I like irrLicht. I've searched for a .Net binding for irrLicht that would be compatible with Linux but haven't found any so far.
I am experimenting with creating a wrapper myself under Linux using SWIG and preliminary results are very promising. I can load a 3d scene. But before I spend anymore time on it, I wanted to check one more time.
Is anyone aware of a Linux compatible or a true Cross Platform .Net binding that I could use instead?
If not, then I'll setup a repository on GitHub so others can contribute and benefit as well.
Thanks,
Karim

afaik there are no up to date bindings for .NET, Irrlicht lime exists but it's outdated and I don't know if it runs on linux

I'm not a .net programmer but, can't you just compile it with Mono?

@Eventide: Not that simple since C/C++ and C# are completely different languages.
Also, other .Net bindings that I've found, like IrrLicht Lime have been build over IrrLicht's library for specific to Windows.

I've created a GitHub repo at https://github.com/jimmy00784/IrrlichtDotNet to host any work that I do towards this creating a .Net binding for irrLicht.
Initially, much of the focus will be on creating a Linux centric binding, however, since SWIG is cross platform, if community is interested in the effort, it could become more cross platform than that.
Thanks
