Changing the shebang would only change where to find the ruby
interpreter, _not_ where Ruby itself looked for its libraries.  Of
course, there's every need during development to have various files
under some non-standard location (such as
~/projects/ruby/my_new_library) -- it is at this point that adding to
$LOAD_PATH is the right thing to do.  :)
