+The tarball doesn't contain any information about how to recompile the
+sample code. I have implemented in my tree most of the code needed to
+support the function pointers, but I'm not sure we'll be able to run
+your test anyway, because it contains native code.
+If you run monodis on it, you'll see that the address of the functions
+are stored like this:
+.data D_00017170 = bytearray (
+	 50 10 00 10) // size: 4
+.data D_0001716c = bytearray (
+	 60 10 00 10) // size: 4
+Now I don't have any idea about what those values represent.
+It would be good if you could do some experiments with the code
+and come up with a possible description of what those values
+represent: a metadata token? A RVA in the PE file? And if it is an
+RVA, what it is pointing to?
