[Mono-dev] [Mono-Dev] CharCategoryTest not working on .Net 2.0

[Atsushi Eno]

The best choice I took so far is simply ignore this cosmetic
incompatibility until .NET 1.1 disappears, like 1.0 did. There is
no rational policy behind that CharCategory change. .NET 2.0 was
released in 2005 and there already was Unicode 4.x at that time,
while the updated char category is based on 3.1 or around (and there
was no need for that, as MS collation engine does not conform to
the Unicode standards). So, it is only MS compatibility matter.

If anyone provides extra CharCategory metadata for 2.0 for the
runtime, that would be nice.
