+The delegate serialization format has changed in MS.NET 2.0.
+It contains now the MethodInfos of each delegate in the invocation
+list.
+
+The test Mono -> MS.NET worked because MS.NET is still accepting
+the old format, but, for obvious reasons, it doesn't serialize using
+that old format anymore, which broke the MS.NET -> Mono test
+as well as MS.NET 2.0 -> 1.1.
+
+TODO
+
+1 deduce the new delegate serialization format, implement
+  it while still accepting the old format.
+
+2 assure that MethodInfo is serialization compatible with
+  MS.NET. At present it isn't, because Mono is using
+  System.Reflection.ReflectionSerializationHolder while
+  MS.NET System.Reflection.MemberInfoSerializationHolder.
+  The on-the-wire format seems to be similar, though.
+
+3 ditto for PropertyInfo, FieldInfo, EventInfo.
+
+4 handle generic types
