[mono-android] Simple project with massive memory leak

[Agustin Gimenez]

I agree that the threadpool calls are superfluous, calling directly to the
async methods would be the correct thing, but that had to not influence on
memory leakage inside a webclient.

As i said WebClient inherently leaks meory (at least in the fw 2.0, since
then I only used HttWebRequests because that), on MSDN where a little
advicement about cancelling async calls to a WebClient may derive in a
memory leakage, but it really happens without calling the cancelling
functions.
