Well the compiler has got to the bleeding edge right now ... I'm
able to do a compile of System.dll with the exception of the reported
bugs (Compiler Issues:* in Savannah) .

I still need ILNode_GotoDefault implemented to compile Uri.cs correctly.
(what I've done is copy paste the default: code in place of the goto default)

But the issue here is testing against this System.dll ... To test for your
hacks . Put System.dll into some directory and copy the mscorlib.dll from
pnet/samples to that dir , not cat /dev/null > pnetlib.here in that dir.

$ ls /tmp/dotgnu/pnetlib/System/*.dll 
  System.dll mscorlib.dll

$ ls /tmp/dotgnu/pnetlib/System/*.here
  pnetlib.here

$ ilrun -L /tmp/dotgnu/pnetlib/System a.out.exe

DO NOT do this for the meta-data compiles you are getting .
it's a hack all the way !
