 Oddly, when I included the SubjectAltNameExtension code in the test
 file, the error went away.

+Okay, there is something very strange going on here. Look at the
+following debug output:

+Compilation failed: 3 error(s), 0 warnings
+----------
+
+I got rid of the duplicate error messages for different constructors
+but the interesting thing here is that although the types of the
+argument and the constructor parameter are the same, mcs refuses to
+see that they are equal !
+
+I wonder if this has to do with the fact that the X509Extension is
+coming from an assembly.
