[IronPython] Compiling with Pyc for Silverlight

[Dino Viehland]

In theory there's just 1 IL re-write that's required for this to work.  And that should be replacing the references to mscorlib/IronPython to point at the Silverlight versions.  There's no way to directly have the written binaries target Silverlight because Reflection Emit has no cross-compilation support :(.

Do you know what's happening when trying to import packages?
