[Mono-winforms-list] System.Windows.Forms.Screen.BitsPerPixel does not exist

[Jonathan Pobst]

If you write some actual detection code and would like to contribute it 
(MIT/X11), we would love to have it.  It looked pretty difficult to 
implement correctly when I looked at it, and didn't look used enough to 
spend the effort on it.  But we would love to have it implemented.  :)
