[IronPython] Road to IronPython 2.7 (update)

[Tristan Zajonc]

Looks like a Mono Bug.  The following code prints both "small enough" and
"big enough", which not true.

var a =
System.Numerics.BigInteger.Parse("143098242404177361603877621312831893704");
Console.WriteLine(a);
if (a < System.Int32.MaxValue) {
Console.WriteLine("Small enough");
}
if (a > System.Int32.MinValue) {
Console.WriteLine("Big enough");
}

I will report this to Mono team.
