 classes from multiple assemblies.
 In these cases it's likely better to have a global cache
 and a function that walks it and removes instantiations that reference
 an assembly when it is going to be unloaded.
 Anyway, yes, the generics code is a bit of a mess and needs a big
 audit, both in the interface and the implementation.

+r80012 has some fixes for this: on image unload we remove the data
+structures that reference types from them. There is still work to do
+on actually freeing them (a proper free function should be registered
+with the hash table creation).
