Mono Port

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Purpose of code changes on this branch:
Porting morelinq to the Mono Platform. The Mono Port targets the runtime 
version corresponding 
to .NET 3.5. This review request does not treat 
a possible the Silverlight->Moonlight port.

The existing project solution can be easily opened and compiled with 
MonoDevelop (v.2.2.x). 
MonoDevelop also provides out of the box 
Integration with NUnit, there is no (!) configuration necessary to run the test 
project. Simply 
choose "run element" from the test projects context-
menu.

Morelinq does use Warning Level 4 and the "treat Warnings as Errors" options. I 
advocate this 
usage. However, it seems gmcs (the Mono C#3.0 
compiler) is a little stricter in terms of warnings than Mircosoft's csc. 

This causes one error in the MoreLinq main project, which can be easily fixed 
via supressing this 
error. It can be discussed if we should introduce 
conditional compilation (in this case preprocessing) here, although I don't 
think it makes much 
sense yet.

Porting is more difficult in the testing project. For some reason gmcs does not 
like the private 
DisposeTestingSequenceEnumerator class nested 
in TestingSequnce<T>, it assumes access to the Disposed event would be 
impossible due to it's 
protection level (which is wrong IMHO). I will 
further discuss this problem on the Mono mailing list, however I think it 
doesn't hurt too much 
moving DisposeTestingSequenceEnumerator out 
of TestingSequence and making it a seperate class. I still end up with a CS0067 
warning (event 
not used) on the event, which needs to be fixed.

As a side note, it should be discussed to which naming convention for member 
variables this 
code should stick to, at the moment there it is 
none, making it difficult to separate between method locals and class members. 
And I think 
copying the Event variable in Dispose() is 
unnecessary too.

Next two problems are MinBy and MaxBy tests, somehow the extension method on 
null value 
usage confuses gmcs and let's it generate a 
Warning CS1720: Expression will always cause a `System.NullReferenceException'. 
Our test could 
not prove any better this warning is invalid ;-)

I have attached a complete patch. For some reason google code doesn't support 
patch review, so 
don't get confused by the branch stuff.
