I'm not *quite* done automating; I want to bring in Net::SSH
(specifically Net::SFTP) to upload to the web pages for a project, and
then I also want to add GPG signing (because I have to upload those
separately still). However, the Rakefile has been checked into
PDF::Writer's CVS repository (/var/cvs/ruby-pdf/pdf-writer/Rakefile),
so feel free to crib anything you find there. I will be simplifying
some of it soon (I'm going to work on Archive::Tar::Minitar so that it
provides a Rake task in its default distribution).
