Use "ILExecThreadNew" with a type name like "[vPlatform.FileInfo;"
and a signature of "(Ti)V".  "ToIPHostEntry" provides an example.
You'll need to define "Platform.FileInfo" or something similar
in pnetlib, and also define a "Platform_FileInfo" struct in C
with precisely the same definition.  Accessing the array elements
requires a bit of messing about with "ArrayToBuffer".

Don't do this.  Declare all types properly in pnetlib and ilrun.
