[IronPython] IronPython + IronRuby + Known DLR Build

[Ben Hall]

Hi Ivan,

I think this would only work if you completely abstract away from the DLR.

My initial problem with that is this:

Main AppDomain references 1.0.0.2000 to use ScriptRuntime etc

IPAppDom refereences 1.0.0.2000.  Crossing AppDomain boundaries isn't
a problem because they are the same version.

RubyAppDoman references 1.0.0.0.  When you have to pass your
ScriptRuntime (Engine, Scope whatever) back to the main appdomain I
think it will throw an exception.

Not having used AppDomains in a long time I might be wrong :)
