[IronPython] IronPython 2.7.1 & 3.x Development

[Tomas Matousek]

The assemblies are strongly named so I don't think that the name change would be necessary.

I think we can support this - it would be no different than using IronPython and IronRuby side by side, if we do it right. We'd probably have to rename IronPython.dll to IronPython3.dll as well, but that's not a big deal.

How you decide which to use would be up to you, though.

Would this be useful for anyone else as well?
