IKVM.NET 0.46 Release Candidate 0

Finally, after way too long, the first 0.46 release candidate is available.

What's New (relative to IKVM.NET 0.44):

• Integrated OpenJDK 6 b22.
• Added -Xreference: option to ikvm.exe and ikvm.runtime.Startup.addBootClassPathAssemby() API.
• The binaries zip now includes lib/ikvm-api.jar to avoid having to run ikvmstub to get access to the IKVM Java APIs.
• Ported parts of fdlibm to C# to use for StrictMath methods tan, cbrt, floor, pow, hypot, expm1 and log1p.
• Add support for serializing .NET exceptions in Java. We don't serialize the actual object, but a placeholder instead, to avoid having to implement full .NET serialization interop.
• Added IL optimization step to code generator.
• Added SynchronizationContext for AWT event thread.
• Many IKVM.Reflection improvements and bug fixes.
• Many Swing/AWT improvements.
• Implemented IPv6 support (.NET only) for java.net package APIs.
• The sun.boot.class.path system property now points to VFS to allow javac to work (although a bit slow, because the boot class files are dynamically generated on demand).
• Resource and generated stub classes are now projected into the virtual IKVM home directory, to make code that assumes that resources live in jars happy.
• Improvements to @ikvm.lang.Internal handling.
• Many minor improvements.

Fixes since previous development snapshot:

• IKVM.Reflection: Added limited support for #- metadata stream ("uncompressed" table heap). ParamPtr table is not yet implemented.
