[Gtk-sharp-list] Bump up .net version requirement to 2.0?

[Andy York]

As a simple level 1 Mono/Gtk# developer I would support this, I have 
nothing that requires support for 1.1. I feel if the move to require 2.0 
is holding you back you don't have a choice. Of course I don't have the 
level of knowledge that you do but I am willing to support your decision.
