Thanks for the release. Just FYI, IronPython builds and runs on
mono-1.1.10 under Gentoo Linux. There's a NotImplementedException
around every corner, but you can run it easily. Steps to build:

- change the makefile:
  CSC = gmcs
  eight spaces on line 16 should be a tab, and an extra line needs to be
  added to create the intermediate directory IronPythonTest/bin.

    $ make
    mkdir IronPythonTest/bin
    mkdir IronPythonTest/bin/Debug
    gmcs -t:library -r:bin/IronMath.dll -r:bin/IronPython.dll -out:IronPythonTest/bin/Debug/IronPythonTest.dll -recurse:IronPythonTest/*.cs
    IronPythonTest/DeTest.cs(151,26): warning CS0219: The variable `dts2' is assigned but its value is never used
    IronPythonTest/DeTest.cs(41,14): warning CS0169: The private method `IronPythonTest.DeTestStruct.Init()' is never used
    IronPythonTest/InheritTest.cs(171,24): warning CS0414: The private field `IronPythonTest.Inherited.str' is assigned but its value is never used
    Compilation succeeded - 3 warning(s)

    $ cd bin/
    bin $ mono IronPythonConsole.exe
