OK, here is an updated patch.  I've added some DomCss* classes as well 
as DomDocument (incomplete), etc.  Interfaces are laid out in webkit.cs 
by the depth of inheritance, then in (roughly) alphabetical order.

I've also added WebKit/DomNodeList.cs in which the generated class is 
extended with indexer and implements IEnumerable<DomNode>, so foreach 
constructs are possible now on DomNodeLists.

I have very little experience in C# generics, so someone will need to 
guide me while I'm adding more support for IEnumerable.  Do I need to 
copy-paste the code replacing the type name or there's a better method 
using generics and/or inheritance?

Also, I need some advice on property naming.  Is it desirable to reduce 
bloat by converting some names like `DomNode.NodeName' to just 
`DomNode.Name' or it is better to keep things as-is for transparency? 
At the opposite side, is it desirable to expand `BgColor' to 
`BackgroundColor' or better keep the original name too?  Is it OK to 
provide aliases to support both names--short and long?

OK, I resolved this issue by removing reference to shipped MonoMac in 
the monodevelop project and adding direct reference to my compiled dlls. 
  Works smooth so far :)
