+Summary: [PATCH] Convert.ChangeType() don't call IConvertible.ToType().
+
+Convert.ChangeType() don't call IConvertible.ToType().
+
+When destType isn't the primitive type like Int32, Decimal,
+Convert.ChangeType should call IConvertible.ToType(). 
+
+I think the Convert class don't do that because Int32 ... internal types
+rely on this behavior. I made a little if statment to avoid that:
+
+				else if (value.GetType().Assembly == typeof(int).Assembly)
+					throw new InvalidCastException (Locale.GetText ("Unknown target
+conversion type"));
+
+But I stronglly suggest add a new helper function for Int32.ToType().
