Here are the hurdles:
1- The usual issue of getting the necessary paperwork in order
(i.e. track down all the non-negligible contributors and get them to
sign the copyright thingies).
2- Get the code into shape (follow coding conventions, mostly).
3- Figure out whether it's politically acceptable: the FSF doesn't like
the .NET framework because it is too much under control of a company
we distrust, so the FSF doesn't want to encourage the development
of applications using the .NET platform.
I would personally accept csharp-mode.el, as long as we're careful to
support the Free part of .NET (i.e. Mono) rather than the
MS-specific tools.

My main recommendation is to only add a syntax table on the chars where
we know we need it (i.e. final backslash, and intermediate LFs if
necessary, and whichever more is found to need such treatment), rather
than blindly on the whole text.
