+Summary: Undefined interface base type
+
+Description of Problem:
+If the fully qualified name of the base type is not used when defining an 
+interface, then the 'Type' is not found and the interface declaration 
+fails.
+
+More details:
+Interface.GetInterfaceBases calls Interface.GetInterfaceTypeByName will 
+all the bases if the interface.
+Interface.GetInterfaceTypeByName calls RootContext.TypeManager.LookupType 
+with the 'base name' but this method only looks for the exact name.
+I think that if we change Interface.GetInterfaceTypeByName to call
+RootContext.LookupType(this, name, false, Location) and not 
+RootContext.TypeManager.LookupType(name) i'll be fine.
+
+Additional Information:
+Using snapshot of Feb-25-02
+
+Source code to reproduce the problem:
+
+namespace N1
+{	
+	public interface A
+	{
+		void method();
+	}
+
+	public interface B: N1.A //<- this works
+	{
+		void method2();
+	}		
+
+	public interface C: A //<- this fails
+	{
+		void method2();
+	}		
+}
