[Mono-dev] Update C5 to v1.1.0

[Marcus Griep]

I have posted an update with the unit tests disabled. 

Because the first patch was large and difficult to prepare in the first
place, I have let it be, and added a second, meta patch, which is to be
applied to the results of the first patch. Here are the links again:

http://wiki.xpdm.us/_media/mono/v1.1.0.patch.gz
http://wiki.xpdm.us/_media/mono/v1.1.0.meta.patch

They should be applied in that order, and the result should `make check`
properly.

I still have not heard back from the original maintainers, so I will be
working proactively to maintain the library going forward, including
fixing up the test cases and general code base to quality expectations.
