[mono-vb] Patch for mbas for ByRef parameters from a DLL

[Bernie Solomon]

There were a couple of reasons I hadn't checked this in yet.

Being a little busy was one but there were some technical
reasons too.

In order to check in tests I need to modify the test setup
so that there are some separate DLLs built as well as individual
EXEs and I hadn't got round to do that yet (my original tests
I did by hand).

Also I was trying to get the tests going as they were before
changing them and found that seem to fail compilation
for me (e.g. LongTypeCharTestA.vb) and was then a little
confused as to what the current state of tests was and how
I could tell if I broke anything. Can you explain the setup or
is it my setup is broken and this should compile?

I can check in the code without the tests but thought I'd
try and do both at once.
