Creation of the source stream to insert into the pdb files requires an understanding of which source files are associated with a given class/type in the associated assembly.  Unlike Java, C# does not require the directory/filename structure to match the namespace/classname.  Is this information available as output from csc?  Is there a utility in nmaven which already understands this association?

Although I haven't looked closely, I believe the perl files which come with srcsrv are doing a simple search of the source files.  Generically speaking it would be much better to use information output by the relevant .NET compiler.
