[IronPython] sys.builtin_module_names and embedding

[Mads Weitling]

I am trying to run som IronPython code using the 2.6b1 hosting API but
cannot seem to import the basic 'builtins' defined in IronPython.Modules.dll
from my IronPython host.
When using ipy.exe, things work fine:
ipy.exe -v
>>> import sys
>>> sys.builtin_module_names
('clr', 'future_builtins', 'sys', '__builtin__', 'exceptions', '_weakref',
'_struct', '_winreg', '_warnings', '_sre', '_random', '_functools',
'xxsubtype', 'time', 'thread', '_heapq', '_ctypes_test', '_ctypes',
'socket', '_sha512', '_sha256', '_sha', 'select', 're', 'operator', 'nt',
'_md5', 'math', 'marshal', '_locale', 'itertools', 'imp', 'gc', 'errno',
'datetime', 'cStringIO', 'cPickle', 'copy_reg', '_collections', '_codecs',
'cmath', 'binascii', 'array')

Running from an embedded IronPython, I see only a few builtins:

('clr', 'future_builtins', 'sys', '__builtin__', 'exceptions')

How can I make the missing builtins available to my embedded interpreter?
