Re: [Mono-winforms-list] Remove horrible MONO_MWF_USE_CARBON_BACKENDenv vars

[Geoff Norton]

I've updated the mcs portion of the patch with a little hacklet comment about that; and added in MONO_MWF_MAC_FORCE_X11 env var for people that want to work on / support that behaviour.

Attached is a few patches (1 against mcs for Sys.D and MWF; 1 against
gdi+) that does a few things:

#1 Properly determine dpi on the mac
#2 Remove all usage of MONO_MWF_USE_CARBON_BACKEND and refactor it to
using uname os detection
#3 Remove all usage of MONO_MWF_USE_COCOA_BACKEND as its deprecated,
unsupported and unworking.

This changes the default behaviour to use the carbon backend on the
mac in all cases.  Thoughts?  Comments?

We could possible provide a env override to force back to X11 on the
mac, but since we dont work on 10.5 anyways (x11) I'm not sure how
much value there is in this.

I'll be commiting tomorrow unless people have objections.

ps> tested on Leopard x86, Leopard ppc, openSUSE 10.3 x86_64; no
regressions
