I agree that Webrick would make it eaier, although it's quite a bit slower, also - as far as I know - there is no way to put a handler on / , and another on /search - the /search gets eaten by the /, which makes for ugly URLs. The situation with the bz2 library is more serious... I could use the built-in gzip lib, but the difference is really about 30%, and we're talking huge files here - for the English one I'll have to use a shoehorn to get it in to one DVD :) And I would be happy to spend the few megabytes needed to supply all of Ruby, if I could just figure out exactly how. I am also hoping that in all the frenzy of developing new runtimes for Ruby, people think about distribution, because it's horribly stumping when you develop a great new app, and you can't get it out to people.
