Here's one more fix that I forgot to include.

Estimated hours taken: 0.75
Branches: main

compiler/ilasm.m:
	Use "valuetype" rather than "value_class" as the keyword for value types.

	I think "value_class" was always wrong.  The .NET beta-2 CLR
	supports both "value class" and  "valuetype", but according to
	the ECMA specs (partition II, 12.1), the former is deprecated,
	and so only "valuetype" should be used.
