If only I could win the lottery so I could spend my days adapting Rails
to Madeleine and vice versa...

As someone mentioned, there is a simple attempt at running Madeleine
through DRb distributed with Madeleine. I haven't tried it in anything
near production-like circumstances and there probably are pitfalls, but
basically a DRb service seems like a good solution. (Even though an
application's architecture would have to be designed with the slower
distributed method calls in mind).
