[IronPython] true division?

Yes, indeed I think it was the "future feature is not defined" message that 
convinced me that ipy grokked the whole "form/import __future__ ..." thing, 
which is why I didn't consider the CPython lib dependency (along with the 
fact that I had not previously comprehended the fact that there is indeed an 
actual module somewhere called "__future__" - I'd always thought of it as an 
entirely insubstantial time machine type of whatsit).

thanks again,
