Summary:  Loading assemblies from memory

Original Submission:  The DGEE (and probably other containers) needs to be able 
to load assemblies from memory and not just from disk.
This is required to support:
1. local caching of webservices (important for (2) )
2. Retrieval of webservice code dynamically from remote systems and then 
execute (also ties in with 1.)

In the case of the DGEE we have the webservice that is to be executed in memory 
prior to building an ILProcess to execute it.  The DGEE currently does an 
assembly.Load to get the webservice from disk even though we have a memory 
copy.  Reflection is used to locate the webservice method once the assembly has 
been loaded.

Footnote:
The loaded assembly may require other 'libraries' that could conceivably be 
stored along with the webservice.dll, all stored on a remote system.  If this 
were to be the case, then the libs would also have to be loaded from memory.... 
just thinking further ahead.
