Yeah, I got tired of maintaing the IronPython installer so I rewrote
it from scratch. Merge modules are not recommended anymore, so I
dumped them. The only downside is it can cause some fighting between
IR and IP over which versions of the DLR assemblies are in the GAC.

It shouldn't be too hard to copy the IronPython one and change a few
bits to work with IronRuby.
