Thanks for the report Miguel, we'll get InitializeBuiltins fixed for the next release.

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:

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.
