[Mono-dev] Type.GUID patch

[Kornél Pál]

Note that I still think that throwing a NotImplementedException for Types
that have no GuidAttribute is better as MS.NET never returns Guid.Empty.
MS.NET uses a deterministic algorythm to generate GUID for types that have
no GuidAttribute that we don't know yet. It may use standard Version 3 UUID
as Robert Jordan pointed out but even if it's true we don't know how exactly
the string (byte array) hashed using MD5 is composed.

But actually I don't care too much about it as Type.GUID is intended for COM
interop that isn't implemented by Mono.
