Yeah, it appears that if I just monkey patch and skip the enclosing 
Module.new.module_eval things work as I'd like (full access to variables 
and methods).  I just feel like I must be doing something really dirty 
here, though I'm not smart enough to understand exactly what.  Has 
anyone done anything like this with webrick before?  I really don't need 
the whole Rails framework (or probably even camping for that matter). 
Plus, I'm partially trying to avoid getting the admins to install gems, 
and I'm partially just trying to understand how this would work.

I'm still looking through Rails stuff to see how they do it... haven't 
found it yet.  That's a pretty big code base.
