[IronPython] Road to IronPython 2.7 (update)

[Dino Viehland]

Can you run w/ -X:ExceptionDetail?  My guess is there's something different about Mono's big integer implementation when you do bigInt.ToString("X").  We used to convert the string to hex ourselves but that was slower than .NETs ToString implementation so I switched to using ToString instead (and uuid goes through this path).

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:

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.
