The following hack adds support for .cs files compiled with csc.exe to
the msvc toolset. The first file is a patch to msvc.jam, the other is a
new CS type in cs.jam.

It translates no features yet, but compiles a simple EXE or LIB project.

My goal is to produce two targets, dotnet (.NET SDK, not Visual C#) and
mono, with proper auto-detection and feature support.
