The error message is wrong, but the behavior isn't.  The ability to wrap
a function as a delegate is a C# 2.0 feature, and mono 1.0.x doesn't
implement it.

In your test case, you have:

	Temp (SomeFunc);

but SomeFunc isn't a MyDelegate, it's a method.  To fix this, you'd do:

	Temp (new MyDelegate (SomeFunc));

The automatic wrapping is just a nice feature (and might be required for
delegate covariance).

That said, it's probably still a good idea to bump up the requirement to
1.1.x.  At this point I think all the major distros are either shipping
1.1.x or packages for them are available from mono-project.org.  And the
1.0.x branch has been discontinued by the developers.
