Merging Mono.Cecil changes back to trunk

[xen2]

Since I use both ILRepack and latest Cecil as assemblies, it would make things much easier if the cecil changes are merged upstream (we manually merge multiple branches and fixes that are not part of trunk already).

I wouldn't mind helping doing so, but first I was interested to know if that seems feasible and if the changes you did make sense as part of Cecil trunk?

It's very much feasible.
Now whether these changes make sense as part of Cecil trunk is more of a question for @jbevain.
The changes aren't much, basically:

• Win32 resource reader/writer (used in ILRepack to support aspnet merge, which uses Win32 resources)
• some memory/perf improvements that may only make sense in a repack scenario
• since a couple of days a trivial fix on generic params import

Hey guys, I'm very much interested in limiting the number of forks which all have some fixes. I'm currently working with Mono (almost done) and ILSpy (done) to integrate patches upstream.

We have updated to the very latest Cecil and minimized the changes we need in Cecil to this branch:
jbevain/cecil@master...KirillOsenkov:cecil:ilrepack

Most of the diff is support for Win32 resources
