Ouch. :-)

Although in my case it was 68000 forever (truly beautiful CPU - based 
appreciated inside an Amiga). I'd love to learn more about generating IL 
- although it does make the learning curve steeper (I have tinkered but 
nothing more).

I would recommend leaving it in Python unless you have compelling 
reasons to rewrite...

I'm sure you will - but when you get it up on CodeDOM post an 
announcement here so that I can blog about it.

This is great news as it fills one 'missing piece of the puzzle' when it 
comes to integrating IronPython with other .NET languages.
