[Mono-list] mBas

[Marco Ridoni]

I have added support for attributes to mBas (beside other fixes).  The
following code compiles and runs fine. The area which needs more attention
is array declaration and access, as you can see yourself from the apparently
weird access method used to retrieve an Annotation object - calls like
'MyAnnotation = tc_type.GetCustomAttributes(False)(0)' wouldn't work mainly
because the grammar still fails to recognize them. I'm currently working on
this.

P.S. I just realized I forgot to remove some code which generates debug
output while compiling. I wil take care of it ASAP
