[ZODB-Dev] ZODB on ironPython?!

[Tamer Higazi]

pypy as ironpython have internal JIT compilers.

However, I will see later the results and post them here as pure ZODB
would be ready.

of course ironpython gener .NET intermadiate code (bytecode), but I
don't care.

We will see how and where it leads......
