[IronPython] Internal Assembly Dependency

[David Escobar]

I had a similar problem when using ctypes to access a Windows .dll. Before
calling the method that relies on the MathNet.Iridium assembly, try setting
the current working directory to the folder containing your 1st assembly
(the one you reference directly).

clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath(mypath)
import os
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(mypath))

...then try calling the methods in question.
