[MonoDevelop] Running MonoDevelop with gmcs

[Kamil Skalski]

With current svn version of monodevelop the following patch is needed
to compile and run using mono 2.0 profile
http://nemerle.org/~nazgul/temp/monodevelop.diff

Moreover it is necessary to use only 2.0 assemblies when compiling
monodevelop (monodoc, gtk-sharp, etc.), but preparation of such a
environment is a lot of work, so also commenting the lines from:

                                return;
                        }

is needed.

With those changes everything seems to work (but starting monodevelop
is extemely slow, I don't know why).

Some notes:
- I made only the very basic change to reflection parser to make it
actually not crash. It doesn't show generic API very nice, but it
does:

- of course we need to make this change configurable and add NET_2_0
preprocessor directives for neccessary places in parser, I will do
this when I have some time (any hints how to do this in Makefile.am?).
