[IronPython] Hosting IP2 Beta2 in Mono?

[Douglas S. Blank]

I'm attempting to bring the IronPython Community Edition up to date with 
IP2B2, and having a couple of issues. I've documented everything needed 
to build it here:

http://wiki.roboteducation.org/IronPython2B2

The first is a problem with mapSite in 
Src/IronPython/Runtime/Builtin.cs. The Mono csharp compiler is 
complaining that mapSite is uninitialized. Any ideas?

The second is comping up with a valid nant xml with the right pieces 
defined. I can get it to build, and run, but it crashes with:

$ mono Src/ipy.exe
IronPython 2.0 Beta (0.0.0.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

Unhandled exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException: 
Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or 
the neutral culture.  Make sure "Microsoft.Scripting.Core.resources" was 
correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Microsoft.Scripting.Core" at 
compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable 
and fully signed.

Boolean tryParents) [0x00000]
...

I suspect that the nant xml is incorrect. The relevant part I have added is:

     <csc target="library" output="Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll"
         warninglevel="${warn}">
         <sources>
             <include name="Microsoft.Scripting.Core/**/*.cs"/>
         </sources>
         <references>
             <include name="System.Configuration.dll"/>
         </references>
     </csc>

Any ideas on these two points would be very helpful.
