[IronPython] urlprefix in Chiron and Silverlight Manifest Files

[Michael Foord]

Hello guys,

I've been following the instructions on Jimmy's blog entry about 
packaging Silverlight applications:

http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2008/05/story-of-ruby-and-python-in-silverlight.html

I'm trying to get the application assemblies stored outside the 'xap' 
file, by using the urlprefix configuration in 'Chiron.exe.config'.

As described in Jimmy's blog, I add the following line to the 
'appSettings' element of the config file:

    <add key="urlPrefix" value="/lib" />

This actually causes Chiron to generate the following in the manifest file:

    <AssemblyPart Name="Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight" 
Source="file:///lib/Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight.dll" />
    <AssemblyPart Source="file:///lib/Microsoft.Scripting.dll" />
    <AssemblyPart Source="file:///lib/IronPython.dll" />
    <AssemblyPart Source="file:///lib/IronPython.Modules.dll" />

Which seems wrong. :-)

I guess it is just a bug in Chiron... (or I am doing something wrong.)
