It would still be really useful to be able to set the Python executable 
to IronPython and still have a working Python shell inside Wing - even 
if it was a CPython one.

As a second step having an IronPython shell but no debugger would still 
be an awesome feature.

I realise that it is to do with your architecture, but it feels like a 
terrible misfeature that setting the executable to IronPython disables 
the shell. :-)
