[IronPython] Announcing IronPython 1.1.2 RC1

[Curt Hagenlocher]

Those changes will be in 2.0b4.

Some of CPython's socket tests are problematic in the face of
non-deterministic finalization.  They assume, for instance, that a socket
will implicitly be closed when the variable goes out of scope.  Because of
this, and because users haven't had a chance to bang on them yet, I wasn't
confident enough in the changes I made to advocate porting them back to
1.1.2.
