Section 13.6 of Partition II would be a good place to start.  You'll need to 
modify cscc (CreateDelegateMember in cs_gather.c and 
ILNode_DelegateMemberDeclaration in cs_decls.tc) to create the BeginInvoke 
and EndInvoke methods with the right signatures and parameter attributes.  
The codegen stuff should already be in place, so you shouldn't have to worry 
about that.

Then you'll need to modify "lib_delegate.c" (_ILGetInternalDelegate) to handle 
the internalcall stuff inside the engine.  The rest is a simple matter of 
programming. :-)

Seems reasonable.
