+Summary: extern alias lookup fails
+
+I tried to compile the extern alias example below. It works with csc but
+not with (g)mcs.
+
+--------
+extern alias FULL;
+using System;
+using NameValueCollection =
+FULL::System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection;
+
+public class test
+{
+}
+--------
+
+Compile the above with -r:FULL=/path/to/mcs/class/lib/(profile)/System.dll.
+(also -noconfig, when compiling with csc.)
+
+Actual Results:
+
+$ gmcs extern-alias.cs -r:FULL=../../svn/mcs/class/lib/net_2_0/System.dll
+-noconfig
+extern-alias.cs(3,36): error CS0432: Alias `FULL' not found
+extern-alias.cs(3,1): error CS0246: The type or namespace name
+`FULL::System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection' could not be
+found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
+Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Expected Results:
+
+$ csc extern-alias.cs -r:FULL=../../svn/mcs/class/lib/net_2_0/System.dll
+-noconfig -nologo
+error CS5001: Program 'c:\cygwin\home\atsushi\tests\gmcs-bugs\extern-alias.exe'
+        does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+consistently.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Toshok needs it for 2.0 System.Configuration.dll.
