require returns true if successful and false if already loaded.
If a file is not found, it raises an exception.

Something like this?

   begin
     require 'fox'
     require 'fox/colors'
   rescue
     begin
       require 'fox12'
       require 'fox12/colors'
     rescue
       puts "Oops..."
     end
   end

   include Fox

I don't recall nesting begin/end that way before,
but it should work... someone see a better way?
