[IronPython] Python Standard Library in IronPython

All,

    I know I can access just about everything in the python standard  
library by simply adding it to the ironpython path, however this is  
not a good solution when writing dynamic applications in Silverlight.  
I can include the standard library with my silverlight application,  
but this bloats the package and causes horrible load times. I started  
writing some abstractions last night to do common path operations  
using whatever library is present (.Net vs cpy) when it dawned on me  
to simply re-map common functions in the python standard library to  
the .Net equivalent. Has something like this already been done? If  
not, does anyone have any interest in doing this?

Regards,
Ken
