You aren't the only one :). Jeremy Kemper already wrote one too and  
submitted it to the MySQL project on Rubyforge. It's a good place to  
check for other patches too (I wrote a 1.9 compatible patch for ruby- 
pg), to prevent a lot of duplicate work.

It might be useful to somewhat structure the effort, so not everyone  
is fixing the same stuff. A simple list with who's working on what and  
what is already fixed, would be a huge improvement.
