System.IO.StreamReader Constructor for Policy (Patch Included)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To simplify deployment we store our policy files as embedded resources in
the DLL. However the current Policy does not support reading Policy files
either from a string or a stream. Attached is a patch to Policy.cs that
will construct a Policy object given a StreamReader. This required some
slight re-organisation of the Policy file to move XML parsing into its own
method (Initialise) which is called by the constructors.

Given this patch it is possible to read the policy from the assembly with;
System.Reflection.Assembly asm = typeof(MyClass).Assembly;
System.IO.Stream stream = asm.GetManifestResourceStream("MyClass.Policy");
Policy policy = Policy.getInstance(new System.IO.StreamReady(stream)

The patch provided is against the current head (R72)

This is a really useful patch, I'd like to see it applied.

We don't officially maintain the .NET port anymore and it should be considered 
"as is" until developers come along that want to take ownership.
