Summary: platform.py support for IronPython

Initial Comment:
The following patch supplies minimal support for
IronPython in platform.py - it makes the sys.version
parsing not choke and die. There's a bunch of missing
information from IronPython's sys.version string, not
much that can be done there. 

Should platform.py grow an 'implementation' option, so
it can detect whether it's IronPython, CPython, Jython,
or something else?


Patch is against svn trunk.

Thanks.

I'll install IronPython and see what else needs to be done.

I've already added a few fixes to make Jython play nice with
platform.py that I'll check in as well.

And yes: I'll add a python_implementation() function that
returns 'CPython', 'Jython' and 'IronPython' as appropriate.
