Fixed in revision #4064.

Now, a class method can override a method of a parent class only if they  
have
the same signature.

The check is not done for the "_new" special method, as the inheritance of
_new is special (see "inheritance and constructor" in the "Gambas object
model" documentation on the wiki).

And the check is not done too for a native class inheriting another native
class. C/C++ programmer are supposed to know what they are doing. :-)
