[IronPython] Threading support in Silverlight

[Jimmy Schementi]

You can use System::DispatchTimer to have the timer events to fire on the same thread.

Also, if your initParams source parameter looks something like this:

<params name="source" value="debug=true; reportErrors=errorLocation" />

Then you should see error messages.
