[IronPython] Lists of instances of classes

Hi,

We've found what looks like a bug in list comparison:

---------------
IronPython 1.0.2190 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
 >>> class C:
...   pass
...
 >>> c1 = C()
 >>> c2 = C()
 >>> [c1, c2] == [c2, c1]
True
 >>> [c1] == [c2]
True
 >>> c1 == c2
False
 >>>
-----------------

Confirmed in 0.9.5, 0.9.6, and 1.0.2190

There is a horrible hack to work around it:

-----------------
 >>> str([c1, c2]) == str([c2, c1])
False
-----------------


Cheers,

Giles
