     - Added a new 'CLR.dll' that acts as an extension module that allows an

 ToDo List:
 
-  - Fix leaking delegates; check if arg tuple or bases are leaking
+  - Finish leaktest.py and finish checking for leaks.
 
-  - Integrate nunit 2

-  - Pester Guido about letting exceptions be new-style classe that

+  - Implement class wrappers to allow Python code to implement interfaces
