Thanks ! This is a good start.
I looked a a few of them and they look fine.

I'd like this to be done a bit differently. Take the existing tests
you made and change (for example for the 3.1 ones)
add with <BINARY_NUM_OP>. Then a little script will
copy and replace and create tests for each of a list of opcodes.
This way, we only have to check N test case + the list of opcodes
(+ the script, of course;-), instead of checking N * numopcodes tests.

This pattern should be used as much as possible: there are many
tests that look the same but apply to a number of similar opcodes
and we want the test to check all the cases for all the opcodes
while keeping the test source readable.
It would be good to put different kind of tests in different
directories, too.

We should put these in a separate directory, so that later we
can make our ilasm compile them, maybe with a special command line flag.

I used this makefile as a starting point:

compile: *.cil
        for i in *.cil; do ilasm $$i; done

test:
        for i in *.exe; do mono $$i >/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo $$i "NOT 
ok"; done

We'll take a look at the ilasm failures (it is also important that ilasm
doesn't leave behind 0-length files when it fails).
I will probably add a mono option like 
--debug-expect-exception=System.InvalidProgramException
so we can more easily check for cases where mono exits with an error and
when it exits because of the correct exception.
