Hey,

In the progress of investigating why with the last git revision,  
ir.exe in repl mode doesn’t print the result of the evaluation, I  
figured I’d write the most useful patch of the year, to get a cute  
prompt on Mono:

[mono] ~/Desktop/Debug @ mono ir.exe  
IronRuby 1.0.0.0 on Mono 2.5  
Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

That’s the documented way to do so, and will be maintained that way.

Thanks,
