[Mono-dev] How to access XplatUI for custom controls?

I would support having an extra library "WinformsSupport.dll" that exposes
those methods for you.   Interested in cooking the patch?

It would probably be a matter of making the [InternalsVisisbleTo:] the new
assembly, and then exposing public methods for it.

Miguel.
