[Mono-list] LockBits() on Mono 2.2?

[LKeene]

Okay, I just tried the method outlined here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/GDI-plus/pointerlessimageproc.aspx

On my Windows XP box it runs on both Microsoft's runtime as well as Mono
2.2. Performance seems good. I have to fiddle a bit more and see how setting
the DoubleBuffered() property affects things, but generally this is very
encouraging.
