+Summary: Type.GUID is never initialized
+
+The Mono runtime never generates the GUID of a Type.
+
+Even, when a GUID is explicitly assigned to a given type using the 
+GuidAttribute, the Mono runtime ignores the value that was set at compile 
+time.
+
+You reproduce this issue using this :
+
+using System;
+using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
+
+public class EntryPoint
+{
+	public static void Main ()
+	{
+		Type type = typeof(string);
+		Console.WriteLine(type.FullName + " GUID: " + type.GUID);
+
+		type = typeof(FixedGuidClass);
+		Console.WriteLine(type.FullName + " GUID: " + type.GUID);
+	}
+}
+
+[GuidAttribute("296afbff-1b0b-3ff5-9d6c-4e7e599f8b58")]
+public class FixedGuidClass {
+}
+
+On MS.NET this results in the following output :
+
+System.String GUID: 296afbff-1b0b-3ff5-9d6c-4e7e599f8b57
+FixedGuidClass GUID: 296afbff-1b0b-3ff5-9d6c-4e7e599f8b58
+
+On Mono, you get the following output :
+
+System.String GUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
+FixedGuidClass GUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
+
+I assume the GUID should be generated in 
+mono_reflection_create_runtime_class in reflection.c
