It is created with netexp.exe (part of IKVM.NET) and it contains no code,
just the metadata (the subset which is compatible with Java).

I use it to compile Java code that calls .NET framework method. When
IKVM.NET loads a class from mscorlib.jar it notices that it is just a stub
for a .NET type and redirects all access to the .NET type.
