[Mono-list] Patch for String.Replace

[Jonathan Pryor]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but your patch could be much simpler. 
All you need to do is, before the "ret = mono_string_new_size(...)" line
(line 351), have this:

	if (occur == 0)
		return me;

Since "occur" keeps track of how many times "oldValue" occurs within
"me", if occur is 0, you don't need to do any processing at all.  This
would require no changes to the loop as well.
