[IronPython] Exporting Python code as an assembly

[Curt Hagenlocher]

The assemblies call into the IronPython engine (version 2) to load and
execute the script.  Currently, the script is loaded from the file system,
but I'd eventually like to support embedding any required scripts
as resources in the assembly, so that the whole thing can be distributed as
a single neat package.
