Code is considered unreachable if (surprise) there's no way for the code
to be executed at runtime.  For example:

	void Cs0162 ()
	{
		Console.WriteLine ("Hello, World!");
		return;
		Console.WriteLine ("This generates CS0162");
	}

Obviously the second Console.WriteLine won't ever be executed, due to
the `return' statement on the previous line.  This is the simplest
example, but other situations can generate the warning.

Fix the code so that the unreachable code isn't present.

Alternatively, if you *know* that the code *is* reachable and the
warning is generated erroneously, it could be an mcs bug; please file it
in bugzilla.
