[IronPython] SCons on IronPython 2.0B2

[Jeff Hardy]

Hi Dino,
Yeah, _winreg is what's missing. Good to hear that it will be coming soon!

Not every bug I've filed is related to SCons (some are Trac-related,
and maybe even a couple from elsewhere). I've just been testing random
apps (primarily WSGI-enabled webapps), seeing what breaks, and filing
bugs.

What's the best way to push up the priority of a bug? Codeplex
comments? Mailing list? I know of a few that are set for 2.1 that I'd
like to see sooner.

-Jeff
