The Mono C# compiler emits CS0169 for unused methods, which causes
incompatibility with csc, especially with "warnings as errors" mode.

csc emits CS0169 *only* for fields. Unused methods and properties are *not*
reported.

This warning is also causing a lot of confusion for MonoTouch users, because of
the methods and properties that are dynamically connected at runtime. If we
could backport the fix to 2.6 branch and get it into MT ASAP that would be
great.
