And similarly for 1.0.0-1.0.14.

Exactly where it goes isn't important for SWIG, but csharp/util.i is
only included for C#, so that's the best place for C#-specific things.

If that's the right typemap, you should be able to just paste it in
as is.

Ah, yes.  I wouldn't worry about that part for now - either we can
generate separate wrapper sources for each case, or we can copy the
default typemap for Mono.  But that part I know how to do, so I'm
happy to sort that out.
