6		To state my argument in this ticket: First, ProtoGen doesn't work as a standalone, but also needs Google's protoc compiler. So that's two more executables in our bin directory. We //could// ship both of them, but the question is: Does it make sense? ProtoGen is used to produce C# code out of .proto files. I guess anybody that wants to use this for external evaluation does so, because his or her external application is written in a different language than C#. Since everything you need to make proto-based applications is available on the web (code.google.com) and pretty easy to find I decided against including it.
