Use ERB - it's the pure ruby implementation, and returns string values,
which you can choose to send to stdout, a file, etc.

I'm not sure if it's the 'recommended' place, but I personally put my
own ruby library file in /lib/basiclib.rb, and put "require 'basiclib'"
at the bottom of config/environment.rb. Seems to work nicely.
