There are so many different .NET versions -- I suppose that somewhere in
msdn there is an explanation of the differences -- but I have often wondered
why IronPython used 2.0 when 3.5 is available. Just idle curiosity, I don't
really care, but if there are significant new features, will IronPython 2.6
use the latest .NET?
