Thanks i was talking with Ezra Zygmuntowich on irc a while ago, and i 
borrowed lots of ideas (and some of code) for my own microframework.

If there were any interesting changes in merb I'll take a look, but my 
framework was designed to do exactly what i needed (which was to handle 
AJAX and forward to remote servers, then parse request and send to 
application when next AJAX request hits) and did job right :)
