1.2.4 has a very annoying bug in the C# compiler where it ignores the
"using xxx;" imports when it's resolving types in anonymous delegates.
The workaround is to fully qualify all types names within anonymous
delegates.

On of our contributors who still uses 1.2.4 adds these workarounds to
MD SVN frequently, but it's not always fully up to date. If you find
any more instances of this, post patches to the mailing list, and
we'll commit them.
