I'll put them on my site, or if traffic gets high, mirror it somewhere
else.

This is part from a proof of concept for new One-Click installer.

I'm trying to pinpoint some issues with readline (as reported to ruby-
core yesterday). Readline 5.2 isn't working (it just hang and eat CPU

I'll also package the rake recipes for anyone interested in bootstrap
it in your own system.
