+Summary: TypeDescriptor.GetTypeConverter fails for enums + EnumConverter does not work
+
+Description of Problem:
+If you call TypeDescriptor.GetTypeConverter with an enum type it returns
+null. That's because EnumConverter doesn't have a default constructor.
+
+EnumConverter fails with an InvalidCastException when calling
+ConvertFromInvariantString when ConvertFrom tries to cast enum values to long.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile attached sample
+2. Run it
+
+Actual Results:
+No converter found.
+
+Expected Results:
+Converter Type: System.ComponentModel.EnumConverter
+Test -> Test
+Mono -> Mono
+Hello, Mono -> Hello, Mono
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
