This is another topic for discussion.

We need a Mono-specific call to flag a LocalBuilder variable as "pinned",
so that the generated code will properly flag this slot.

This is not important for Mono, given that we use the Boehm GC, but it will
be important to move the code we generate over to the MS.NET

This time I believe its ok to use a dynamic invocation, as this is rarely
used, its only used when doing a "fixed" statement.

The attached patches should add support for pinned variables.

Dude, could you redo those patches without the property, but just
a plain method, that would get the job done?

SetPinned() is all we need, we do not need to find out if something
is pinned.
