[Gtk-sharp-list] Design for Indexer for GLib.List to allow [] based addressing.

[Daniel Kornhauser]

The change is only four miserable lines in ListBase.cs:

		internal ListBase (System.Type element_type)
		{
			list_ptr = (IntPtr) 0;
			this.element_type = element_type;
		}


one line in SList.cs :

	public SList (System.Type element_type) : base (element_type)
		{
		}


and one line in List.cs:

	public List (System.Type element_type) : base (element_type)
		{
		}

I tested it and it works alright should I commit this too ?
(When/If I get miguel's cvs account)

Sorry for the stupid question, but should I even be asking if I have to
make the commit, since mkenster didn't make a negative comment on Joe's
suggestion ?

I want to avoid making unnecessary noise on the list.
