While making a test case for another mcs bug, I make a typo and noticed 
that mcs reports error CS1569 when an XML comment is placed on a private 
virtual method (which ofcourse causes a compile error).

This is a very minor issue, as the code is not compilable but I'm 
reporting it anyway ...

To reproduce this issue, compile the following code snippet:

/// <summary />
public class EntryPoint {
  static void Main () {
  }

  /// <summary />
  private virtual void Define (bool test) {
  }
}

Actual result:

test.cs(7,23): error CS0621: `EntryPoint.Define(bool)': virtual or 
abstract members cannot be private
error CS1569: Error generating XML documentation file `test.xml' (`Object 
reference not set to an instance of an object')

Expected result:

test.cs(7,23): error CS0621: `EntryPoint.Define(bool)': virtual or 
abstract members cannot be private
