[IronPython] "exec in" is broken

[Patrick O'Brien]

There is a problem doing an "import *" within code that is exec'd in a
dictionary:

>>> from sys import *
>>> print platform
cli
>>> import imp
>>> module = imp.new_module('foo')
>>> source = 'from sys import *\nprint platform\n'
>>> code = compile(source, 'foo', 'exec')
>>> exec code in module.__dict__
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##97
  File , line 0, in foo##96
NameError: name 'platform' not defined
>>>

I created a ticket for this:
