Test Case

If you try to run an assembly compiled using 1.0 mcs/csc on HEAD/2.8, where we
no longer ship 1.0 assemblies, you get:

The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the `/opt/mono/lib/mono/1.0/mscorlib.dll'
directory.

We need to silently run this on the 2.0 profile and use 2.0 assemblies instead
of the referenced 1.0 assemblies like .Net does.

I don't know if this requires changes to the runtime or if we can do it by
shipping policy files for all 1.0 assemblies.

[1.0 compiled winforms test app attached]
