Right. It's an application, not a library, so we have the equivalent of this
structure:

../main.rb
../src/module.rb

Ah - I didn't notice the system put them in there. So when I say...

$:.unshift('src')
require 'module.rb'

....Ruby inside the EXE still complains no such file to load --
src/module.rb.

Why does Ruby insist on looking for src/module.rb when lib/module.rb is also 
an option?

So I dyke out the second unshift:

$:.unshift('src')  if not defined?(RUBYSCRIPT2EXE)
require 'module.rb'

Now the program gets past the require, and I get all sorts of other errors, 
probably indicating the program can't see all the data files.

I don't understand why this stuff worked a year ago, even if I had a flatter 
folder hierarchy. It found files in the current folder.

Thanks for the tip.
