Repro sources

If I create a class derived from ConfigurationElementCollection Mono cannot
consume it unless its constructor is public. The CLR allows the constructor to
be internal.

If the constructor is internal we get a MissingMethodException:

Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Default
constructor not found...ctor() of Trac103.MyCollection'.

Apologies for the volume of System.Configuration-related bugs: it seems like
there are a lot of public/internal-related inconsistencies between Mono and the
CLR.
