This is really exciting move. I wonder if this would make compiling the .NET core easier in OSX and Linux?

looks like it

Interestingly, Roslyn already includes its own parsing/handling of visual studio solution files: http://source.roslyn.codeplex.com/#Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Wo...
Which is built on the MSBuild API. Which makes it a bit annoying to use without the pre-release Visual Studio right now, as Roslyn is built against an MSBuild assembly that doesn't exist on my machine.
