[mono-packagers] Mono 2.4.2 Branch

[Andrew Jorgensen]

We have branched mono-2-4-2 from r135667 of branches/mono-2-4 (this includes debugger libgdiplus mod_mono mono-basic xsp gluezilla mcs mono mono-tools).

We want a quick release if possible so we can get back to all the fun stuff.  Our goal is to release in 1 month but if we can do better than that we will.  We intend to release previews to the public immediately for this release (first preview possibly today?).

* Build and test your software against 2.4.2 early so we can get regressions fixed if there are any.
* Please don't check in anything to 2.4.2 unless QA has asked you to
* Please give priority to 2.4.2 regressions if we find any
* branches/mono-2-4 is open for 2.4.3 work

Thanks so much to everyone who worked on getting the unit tests on the 2.4 branch passing.  We've seen a lot of green lately.
