Lots of cleanup and restructuring. Removed most .NET reflection (almost everything is now based on DynamicMethod) and improved support for running in partial trust.

Changes since previous development snapshot:

• Switched almost all code to using generic collections.
• Removed our own tracking of LocalBuilders, because on .NET 2.0 LocalBuilder has a LocalIndex property.
• Added multi target support to ikvmc (although it is currently disabled, because of a showstopper .NET Ref.Emit bug).
• Replaced usage of BootstrapClassLoader with actual class loader in static compiler.
• Moved generated exception mapping code from ExceptionHelper to Throwable and made it slightly less hacky.
• Replaced mapxml Hashtable with three statically typed Dictionaries.
• Eleminated some (CompilerClassLoader) downcasts by making the type of the DynamicTypeWrapper.classLoader field depend on whether we're compiling the runtime or ikvmc.
• Removed unused per-type class caching.
• Added helper methods to no longer require reflection to instantiate DirectByteBuffer from JNI.
• Bug fix: dynamic (for unloadable classes) getfield/getstatic/invoke* bytecode compilation couldn't handle ghost types.
• Changed dynamic (for unloadable classes) bytecode handling to use Java reflection.
• Changed JNI reflection to be based on Java reflection (where possible).
• Removed "slow" reflection.
• Removed MethodWrapper.Invoke().
• Removed FieldWrapper.GetValue()/SetValue().
• Added ICustomInvoke for the few MethodWrappers that still require custom reflection invocation.
• Removed class init workaround that is no longer required since .NET 2.0 SP1.
• Removed GNU Classpath specific code that I missed.
• Switched from obsolete ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings to new ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.
• Fixed VFS root directory entry.
• Removed no longer needed VM.isBooted() check (VM.isBooted() always returns true now on IKVM).
• Forked java/nio/Bits.java to remove unsafe code from static initializer.
• Moved all creations of DynamicMethod to util method that uniformly handles the fallback to the new .NET 2.0 SP1 constructor that support partial trust.

WARNING: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT, NOT AN OFFICIAL RELEASE.

Development snapshots are intended for evaluating and keeping track of where the project is going, not for production usage. The binaries have not been extensively tested and are not strong named.

This version supports .NET 2.0 SP1 and Mono 2.0.
