Great, I'll merge it with my local changes today (there are still more
issues than that) and try them (on mono and moonlight).

Can I assume the diff are against HEAD ? (the code is a bit different on
2-6 and 2-4 due to 1.x support and compiler differences).

Please have a look at http://www.mono-project.com/Coding_Guidelines

In particular avoid unneeded changes (like space additions/removal),
code style changes (even more when they are against conventions) and the
place of () [] after method / variables names.

Thanks
