Interesting.  Thanks for sharing.

I'll try and pay you back at least some of the effort by addressing  
one of your TODOs.  From your code:

# Windows only. TODO: figure out
# how to do the same thing on Mac and 'nix boxen.
Thread.new {
   # Wait a bit for the server to start, then launch a Web browser
   # to show the default page
   sleep( 5 )
   warn `start http://127.0.0.1:#{PORT}`
}

On Mac OS X, replace the word "start" with "open" and it will work.

Hope that helps.
