[MonoDevelop] IronPython and monodevelop - project importing fails

[Anthony Baxter]

I'm trying to load the IronPython source into the monodevelop that ships with 
Mono 1.1.17.1. It doesn't work at all - google didn't seem to show anyone had 
reported the same issue, my apologies if they have...

If I grab the source zip file from 
http://www.codeplex.com/Project/FileDownload.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&DownloadId=1896
and then unpack it, I get the following results.

Attempting to load Src/IronPython.sln, I get 'Operation completed with 
errors'. The 'Details' widget just displays:
Importing solution

While in the terminal I ran MonoDevelop, I get:

While it _says_ "operation completed", I get nothing loaded. 

If I try to just load Src/IronPython/IronPython.csproj, I get a different 
error:

Could not import 
project:/home/anthony/src/py/fepy/IronPython-1.0/Src/IronPython/IronPython.csproj. 
There was an error generating the XML document.

The details widget in this case says:
Exception occurred: There was an error generating the XML document.

(MonoDevelop:986): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 
`object->ref_count > 0' failed

The first few lines of the IronPython.csproj file are:
<U+FEFF><Project DefaultTargets="Build" 
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ProjectType>Local</ProjectType>
    <ProductVersion>8.0.50727</ProductVersion>

    <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' 
== '' ">Debug</Configuration>
    <Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
    <ApplicationIcon>

There's an odd unicode marker at the start of the file - removing it doesn't 
help, though, I get the same error. 

prj2make fails with a similar error.
