Hi,

well, several things which are now all in CVS:

1.) I rewrote the Array:SetValue interncall to do type conversions for
    all the value types (Boolean, Byte, Char, Double, Int16, Int32,
    Int64, SByte, Single, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64)

    There's also a new testcase in ArrayTest.cs which checks all possible
    combinations between these types (and makes sure they're throwing the
    right exception if the conversion is not allowed).

2.) Rewrote the Array:Copy implementation so that it can now copy multi-
    dimensional arrays.

    I'm also planning to implement this directly in C so that it can use
    memcpy() whenever possible.

3.) Implemented Array:CreateInstance.

4.) Fixed several bugs.

5.) Improved the test suite to use unique labels for all the checks.

and, finally

6.) Made sure that all tests in the test suite pass.
