[IronPython] [ANN]: IronPython 2.6 Release Candidate 2

[Michael Foord]

Hey guys,

Congratulations on the release. I'm hoping to get some distutils fixes 
for IronPython backported to 2.6, to allow a separate user site-packages 
folder for IronPython.

Will you be able to pull in updated versions of site.py and the 
distutils package for the final version?
