[IronPython] Scripting an unmanaged app with IronPython?

[Steve Baer]

Hi Mike,
I did this by creating a C++/CLI DLL that wraps our C++ exported 
classes/functions for .NET. This way there is no .NET code in our core 
C++/MFC executable and you get the effect of IP being hosted in the 
application.

Thanks,
-Steve
