Uh, seems less complicated from what you're saying about recipies?  All I do 
to package my Korundum app is:

tar2rubyscript directoryname
rubyscript2exe directoryname.rb

And I have an executable called directoryname_linux.  That's it.  The only 
thing you have to do to your code is have a file called init.rb that actually 
makes it go.  It packages all the dependencies, etc.

So no, it's not more complicated. :-)
