You need to use const_get to access classes/namespaces whose names are not 
compatible with Ruby naming conventions. 
A module in Ruby must start with capital ASCII letter.

const_get(:mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib).const_get(:mdMUIncrementalClass).new should work.

Subject: [Ironruby-core] IronRuby not loading DLL

I have been using IronRuby for a while now to do simple scripting against 
DotNet DLLs with great success. I ran in to a problem recently where I am 
asking IronRuby 1.1.1 to require a DLL but it does not appear to be loaded. I 
do not get an error message but cannot instantiate any types from the DLL. If I 
do "p Object.constants" it does not return any namespaces or classes from the 
DLL.

When trying to do:
"mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib::mdMUIncrementalClass.new"

I get the error:
"undefined method mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib"

Where mdMUIncrementalClass is a class in the DLL and mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib is the 
namespace. This works perfectly in C#/VisualStudio with the same DLL (I am 
basically using the exact same code in C# and Ruby). If it helps, this is an 
Interop DLL created by Visual Studio from a COM DLL.
