[IronPython] clr assembly reference error in Ipy / Silverlight (but works in ipy)

[Curt Hagenlocher]

Unfortunately, the Silverlight and desktop CLRs aren't binary-compatible --
you're basically linking against a different set of strongly-named
assemblies when you're building a Silverlight version.  You'll almost
certainly need to contact the vendor and ask them to provide support for
Silverlight in order for it to be usable there.  This may not require much
more work than a simple rebuild, but if they've used any APIs that aren't
supported under Silverlight (like .NET serialization or the original
collection classes) then they'd need to modify the source code as well.
