Fixed #17078 -- Made shell use std IPython startup.

ramiro · ramiro · commit 3570ff734e93 · 2012-12-31T19:40:02.000-03:00
This allows for a behavior more in line with what is expected by Ipython
users, e.g. the user namespace is initialized from config files, startup
files.

Thanks Benjamin Ragan-Kelley from the IPython dev team for the patch.
