Subject: [ANN] Updateable 0.0.3

This is the first public release of a very, very small project I've been 
developed at work. I call it Updateable. By mixing in the Updateable 
module into a class you can easily update the attributes of the class 
with a hash:

   require 'updateable'

   class TestObject
     include Updateable

     attr_accessor :a, :b, :c

     def initialize(options = {})
       update(options)
     end
   end

   o = TestObject.new(:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 3)
   puts "#{o.a}#{o.b}#{o.c}" #=> '123'

   o.update(:a => 'a', :b => 'b', :c => 'c')
   puts "#{o.a}#{o.b}#{o.c}" #=> 'abc'
