Looks like MS.NET bug, move StateSet and State classes outside generic
StateMachine class....

But it's work:

using System.Collections.Generic;
class StateMachine<T>
{
	public class StateSet
	{
		public void Add(State state)
		{
		}
	}

	public class State
	{
		public void Add()
		{
			StateSet set = new StateSet();
			set.Add(new State());
		}
	}
}
class Program
{
	static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		new StateMachine<int>.State().Add();
	}
}

Because csc does not use Reflection Emit to compile assemblies. In more
details - it is a bug in MS.NET System.Reflection.Emit functionality. I'm
not sure if it is possible to workaround in compiler or not - we were able
to do this before in some cases.
