Hello richard,

I have done some testing for Arachno Ruby. But i will wait until
RubyGems 1.0 is released.  A stable backward compatible interface
would be indeed a nice thing, especially now where i get more and more
downloads from files32.com, download.com etc.  I can see in my
webserver logs that the first thing they do is to press the "download
ruby" button in my program (it's a redirect on my webserver for the
case that www.ruby-lang.org is down or changing the name).

So for these ruby newbies it would be great if they can have access
to Ruby-GTK, Ruby-ImageMagic and all the other stuff without reading
man pages.
