I updated my mono branch with the sources from ironruby git.  
I disabled the build of dlr\_com and testhost.

I wanted to verify… COM programming AFAIK is windows specific or am I  
wrong.  
I don’t quite remember the issue I had with the testhost, I didn’t spend  
much time on it to make it all work. I figured that most people would be  
primarily interested in running ironruby and not finding out which specs  
fail.
