[DotGNU] mono msc compiles with pnet!

[James Michael DuPont]

I have been able to compile mcs-1.0.4 from the debian apt-src with
cscc.
Have written and applied some patches to pnet to get this to work.

note :
All of this was compiled with cscc, and without any real changes to the
compile lines. That means it will have used the pnetc libs as default!
so even if it built the system from mono, the subsequent ones did not
link against it.

Here are my changes,  all located in this dir :

----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my plan :
0. Make the changes minimal and more mono friendly :
adding configuration foo like --with-csc=cscc

1. creating test cases for all changes to mcs and reporting them to
mono bug system if they are mono bugs. (Retesting against cvs head)

2. running ilverify on all the dlls and finding the causes for
verification errors.

3. Testing 
3.1 testing mcs that it works 
3.2 testing dlls if they work (have no time or idea how to do this,
hopefully someone can tell me how)

4. Adding in all my test cases from my bug reports into the cscc test
case repository
5. Fixing all the bugs in the cscc

6. Testing interchanging the mono libs with pnet.
I want to be able to mix and match them.

7. write a test case for the need to remove this line :
+++ mcs-1.0.4-pnet/class/Mono.Security/Mono.Security.X509/PKCS12.cs      
-                       HMACSHA1 hmac = (HMACSHA1) HMACSHA1.Create ();

8. write a test case for :
+++ mcs-1.0.4-pnet/class/Accessibility/Accessibility/IAccessible.cs

I look forward to any patches and help.
