Attached is a preliminary patch to add this support.  The monodocer
change is 66 lines, and generates output like the attached
Environment.xml.  monodocs2html has also been updated; Environment.html
is the current output.

I should stress that this is a work-in-progress; in particular, it
should (but doesn't) "garbage-collect" the <AssemblyVersion/> elements,
such that if updated assembly 2.0, and a member has an
<AssemblyVersion>2.0</AssemblyVersion> element AND the element has been
REMOVED, the docs are not currently updated to remove this element.
Similar things should be done to ONLY remove a member if e.g. there are
no remaining <AssemblyVersion/> elements (which would likely obsolete
the -ignore_extra_docs parameter if done well).
