I just changed my_g_bit_nth_lsf() to explicitly take a guint32.

Well, if we are going to add a more generic equals method, it's should
be really generic, like:

	mono_bitset_equals (MonoBitSet *set1, MonoBitSet *set2, int start, int count);

Or something like that. However, I'd like to wait until such method is
actually needed in real code.

I kept the const on the MonoBitSet arguments, but I dropped them on the
integer params, since:
1) a compiler can check anyway if the variable is changed
2) it introduces code to workaround the constness.

Well, I don't know if the admins have a reason for not upgrading nor if
2.0 solves the problem. Fixing your MTA to use the correct Sender
is a good idea anyway:-)
