Is it possible to use IronPython and IronRuby side by side in the same Application?

Question

I get a warning in Visual Studio when I reference the latest version of Microsoft.Scripting (the one included with IronPython).

Is it possible to deploy / use them side by side in the same application? Is there a better / more dynamic way to instantiate the runtimes?

private ScriptRuntime GetScriptRuntime()
{
   if ("IronRuby".Equals(scriptUnit.Type))
   {
      return IronRuby.Ruby.CreateRuntime();
   }
   if ("IronPython".Equals(scriptUnit.Type))
   {
      return IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateRuntime();
   }
   throw new Exception("Unknown Script Type [" + scriptUnit.Type + "]");
}

Text of Warning - Module 'Microsoft.Scripting, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' should be referenced.

It is possible, you just have to find versions that are built with the same core .dlls or build both by yourserf.
