Aspect oriented programming library for C# (compact framework 3.5)

Any suggestions for C# aspect oriented programming libraries with support for compact framework version 3.5? It seems that PostSharp supports it, but are there any other alternatives?

Edit: Alternatives? http://www.sharpcrafters.com/postsharp/alternatives but I have no idea if they support CF. Since most of the alternatives (.NET) use proxies/interception I wouldn't think they would support CF.

PostSharp by SharpCrafters. http://www.sharpcrafters.com/postsharp/download

It does support CF 3.5. If you've used Postsharp for regular .NET (if you had, you probably wouldnt be asking this question) you'll see it does have differences.

http://doc.sharpcrafters.com/postsharp/2.0/##PostSharp.chm/html/695ec9f3-577a-4175-8cba-c00d0cb6e47c.htm

Because Silverlight or Compact Framework projects are not linked to the normal .NET Frameworks (the public key of mscorlib and even the name of other system assemblies differ), assemblies generated from these projects cannot be loaded into the CLR.

This has a number of direct consequences:

*Aspects are not instantiated at build time by PostSharp.
*Therefore, aspects are not serialized.
*Compile-time semantics like CompileTimeValidate,

CompileTimeInitialize, IAspectBuildSemantics or IAspectProvider, are not supported.
