[IronPython] IronPython on Unix issues.

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

     To get IronPython to run on Unix, it is necessary to swap some
code, it seems that the code in SystemState.cs tries to swap some
builtins before the builtins are loaded.

     The code is the check for Unix inside InitializeBuiltins (patch is
attached for those on Unix).

     Also Sanghyeon pointed out that the Makefile I posted was wrong:

> Sorry, but this Makefile doesn't do resource generation for
> Microsoft.Scripting.dll and IronPython.dll, and the resulting
> IronPython console won't work correctly.

You are correct Sanghyeon, I merely used the assemblies to do some work
on our build system for Moonlight.

I have now included a modified version of your nant build file.   To get
a working ipy.exe it is still necessary to move some code around.
