One thing to keep in mind, as I am not sure of the status of the win32
port of beagle anymore, but if you want beagle to build on win32 w/
the .NET framework 1.1, instead of requiring 2.0, you will have to fix
this anyway.

So far, the best way to force this to be fixed is to include
-langversion:ISO-1 in the mcs compile line. This will error out on the
above issues, and enforce in the future ISO-1 (meaning .net 1.1)
compliance.

That said, I am not sure how important beagle building on win32 is to
you guys currently :)
