[MonoDevelop] Stripped down GTK# notebook tabs for monodevelop

[Anirudh]

Hi All,

I've implemented basic tab stripping functionality, it was surprisingly
simple. All it does is hide the icon and close button for all tabs except
the current one.

You can check it out at
http://github.com/antileet/monodevelop/tree/tabstripIt's a branch of
the MD tree

Thanks,
Andy
