[IronPython] Logging module

[Dino Viehland]

Just to be clear - we could probably redistrubte a modified standard library if we wanted to, the bar for that is probably not too high compared to contributions.  But we've made a conscious decision to not do this - we'd like to get the point where we can give our changes back to the CPython community rather than forking the library.  So yes we did ask the wrong question but we also meant to :)

If you already have permission to distribute the standard library then 
it is unfortunate that *more* permission is needed to modify it. Sounds 
like the wrong question was asked. :-(

Oh well - good that this is being worked on.

I'll see what I can do.
