[IronPython] assembly versioning in scripts

[Curt Hagenlocher]

If "a" is an Assembly object, you should just be able to dot into it to get
Types.  So instead of
clr.AddReference(a)
from A.B.C.D import E

you'd say
E = a.A.B.C.D.E

The Python import mechanism is global and not really consistent with having
multiple "things" with the same name.
