Do not commit this library to SVN, it is currently undergoing lots of

For now, just install IronPython 2.0 (where it comes) and use that.

Until the final release of the DLR (or until it matures) just make your
module assume that it is installed in the system path.

For development, you will need to install it on your system path.
