[m-dev.] testing of .NET port

[Fergus Henderson]

Can anyone who is checking in a change that might affect the .NET
back-end *please* test that the compiler can still generate `.il'
files for all of the modules in the standard library?
(cd library; MERCURY_COMPILER=../compiler/mercury_compile mmake GRADE=ilc ils)

Pete assured me that this was the case before checking in his recent changes.
But someone must have broken it again, because the current CVS sources
still fail this test.  An exception is thrown when compiling library/ops.m:

   Uncaught exception:
   Software Error: mlds_to_il.m: Unexpected: mlds_type_to_ilds_type: unknown_type
   Stack dump not available in this grade.

I will track this one down and fix it.  But I'd really like to get back to
making genuine forward progress, rather than one step forward, one step back.
The only way to achieve that is to test every change against a test suite
of some kind before committing.
