[IronPython] IronPython 2.6 CodePlex Source Update

[Dino Viehland]

It's a good point - if Mono 2.8 isn't out in time for 2.7 then we'll need to
think about what to do there.  Over on the Mono list there was some discussion
about this in April (http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-list/2010-April/044892.html) 
and it sounds like the release was supposed to be available soon after .NET 4
shipped but it's still listed as TBD on the roadmap page :(  Either way there's
still ~6mos before 2.7 is done so there could be a good chance Mono 2.8 will be
out by then as well.
