I'm learning OpenGL by using the Ruby interface. (I'm also using QT to do
the windowing, etc.).

I don't think the OpenGL binding is listed on the RAA. The URL is
http://www2.giganet.net/~yoshi/rbogl.tgz. I found that link on Nobuyuki
Horie's Ruby page, which includes his QT and QT2 bindings as well.
