What is the best approach for converting a web app that is using Mongrel 
to one that utilizes Merb?

Do I rebuild everything from scratch, or is there an example of 
converting an application to Merb that would wrap an existing 
mongrel/rails app in the Merb framework?

If I rebuild, is there an order I should follow when merging the models, 
controllers, and views that I already have with the ones created by Merb.

Thanks in advance for your informed advice.
