 This happens with mono 0.31, and CVS glib-sharp from Mar 31.

+The test case is alot simpler than this:
+
+public class Test {
+	static extern void does_not_work ();
+
+	static void Main ()
+	{
+		does_not_work ();		
+	}
+}
+
+
+The issue is that an `extern' implementation, unlike in C, requires
+some sort of hint as to what the impl is. An example is the DllImport
+attribute. If no such specification is given, it is a compile time error.
+
+There is probably a spec quote i could give...but dont know where i
+would find it.
