+Summary: Convert.ChangeType() fails with datetime format MM-DD-YYYY for InvariantCulture
+
+DateTime dt = (DateTime)Convert.ChangeType(..., typeof(DateTime),
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+
+doesn't accept the date format "MM-DD-YYYY". "MM/DD/YYYY" is supported,
+though. 
+
+NAnt relies on the former format being available, so this is a blocker.
+
+Attached test program on .NET prints:
+
+01-01-2000 converted as 2000-01-01 00:00:00
+12-31-2000 converted as 2000-12-31 00:00:00
+01/01/2000 converted as 2000-01-01 00:00:00
+
+on Mono-CVS/Fedora 1.0 it prints:
+
+ERROR converting 01-01-2000 to datetime: Invalid format
+ERROR converting 12-31-2000 to datetime: Invalid format
+01/01/2000 converted as Saturday, 01 January 2000 00:00:00
