Subject: cross platform method to obtain disk usage

I am working on something where one of the requirements is to manage 
disk usage (kind of a rotating backup thing) and I was wondering if 
anyone could point me in the right direction for determining disk usage 
from Ruby.

I have been tinkering with using syscall (I am on Linux) but ultimately 
I'd like to find a way to do this on Windows as well... Any thoughts? I 
am not against using C if necessary, but perhaps that can be avoided? :-)

Cheers,
Tim
