Summary:                    Self referential use of generic from assembly fails
Description: 
Consider an assembly with this code:

namespace Library 
{ 
   public class BusinessBase[T] where T : BusinessBase[T] 
   { 
   } 
}

Then have another assembly that references the library, using the
generic:

using Library; 
public class Foo : BusinessBase[Foo] 
{ 
}

When compiling the application assembly I get: 
internal compiler error: assertion ``supertypes != null'' failed in file
hierarchy/TypeBuilder.n, line 191 
(followed by a stack trace... top of which is "at
Nemerle.Compiler.TypeBuilder.SuperType(TypeInfo ti)") 

This use of generics works in C#.
