crtl.studio used to /or said they were going to start supporting SI but something happend on the base and the arguements, and the blood.... it wasnt pretty.

You don't need to recompile any dll, not to mention that to recompile something you need the source, and I don't remember the ctrl shaders being open source, only free.
To use a MRay shader packaged for max or maya all you need is the same dll and convert the descriptor (usually a .mi) to a spdl, which isn't exactly rocket science if you don't mind reading around a bit.
Until a short while ago I thought Francesca was still releasing spdl files too for their shaders.
Have you tried sending her or max a mail to ask?

i just posted on th eforums at mymentalray, ill see what kind of response i get.
i dont want to just spam their emails until i stress out my resources.
i would not mind making spdls for xsi. i
ive never worked with shading much, but like you said its not rocket science.
ill check xsi wiki to see if they mention anything about this.
