In a short article by Miguel de Icaza about running Java code under Mono, he discusses how to convert a Java program via IKVM to a CLI executable. And then with some mono magic turn it into native x86 code. This means if program in a language that generates CLI executables, you to generate a native x86 version.For example, in my series of blog posts I created a GDATA reader with IronPython. You
