In order to do this, CILMachineBase,  the base class of any Machine, 
must contain some pointer.  Hence, it must be in unsafe mode.  Actually 
System.dll is'nt compiled with the --unsafe flag of mcs

I can do an Hack on my makefile but... I don't know if there is some 
conterpart in compiling System.dll with --unsafe
