No, just the instructions on the github wiki.

Contrib will behave differently (not work) in any case where it relies on
the java standard library.

No, due to same issues as 2. Theoretically inferior-lisp should work if you
change the inferior lisp command to run clojure.main.exe and set the
environment variable clojure.load.path.

David Miller, ClojureCLR's author was looking into this, but I'm not sure
the dependency on Microsoft's Visual J# Redist has been solved yet for Mono
compatibility.

The status is here: http://wiki.github.com/richhickey/clojure-clr/to-do. Not
everything is done, but the things that are done tend to stay up to date
within a few weeks.

Not that I know of. Again, any Java library dependencies would be blockers.

I don't know of an official way to tell, but in the meantime it would be
pretty safe to check for the existence of a standard CLR class: (def
clojureclr (when (ns-resolve 'clojure.core 'System.AppDomain) true))
