[IronPython] Announcement: Ironclad v0.1

[William Reade]

Hi all

I'm delighted to announce that Ironclad 0.1, our nascent CPython 
compatibility library, is now available at:

http://code.google.com/p/ironclad/downloads/list

It's not very impressive yet, and it's still win32-only, but it will 
import the bz2.pyd module from CPython 2.5; the compress() and 
decompress() functions should work, as should the BZ2Compressor and 
BZ2Decompressor types. Sadly, BZ2File still needs quite a lot of work. 
Nonetheless, please download it and have a play :-).

Be aware that you can't just reference the DLLs and have everything Just 
Work -- have a look in 'tests/functionalitytest.py' to see how to make 
it work; have a look at 'doc/details.txt' if you're interested in what's 
going on under the hood.

Bug reports, complaints, advice and patches are all very welcome; of 
course, bug reports with integrated patches and test cases will receive 
the maximum possible brownie points ;-).

Cheers
William
