[MonoTouch] Building for different versions of iOS with newest SDK

[Nic Wise]

You always build for the latest SDK, tho you can say "minimum version
is this" in the settings of your main project. If you build with the
5.0.1 or earlier SDK, apple will refuse to accept your app.

You need to check the device version before calling iOS5.1-specific methods

This is the same in Obj-C, you can ask the instance if is responds to
the method you want, and call it if you do. I tend to check the
version instead.
