[IronPython] Road to IronPython 2.7 (update)

[Tristan Zajonc]

There seems to be some regressions between 2.6 and 2.7 for OSX/Mono.  In
particular, in addition to the traceback bug, the uuid module still has a
problem:

http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/28904

Given that uuid appears all over the place, this is relatively serious, I
think.  I'd look into these, but the standard IronPython solution doesn't
compile on OSX/Mono.
