Regarding the rake tasks, Mr Bones is intended to put everything in
the skeleton. Contrast this to hoe and echoe where you are relying on
an external gem. With Mr Bones you can twiddle the tasks if they don't
do what you need / like / desire.  That is a little more difficult to
do with the others.

Mr Bones has the upgrade flag for when you want to update your tasks.
You have to update all your projects individually. Hoe and echoe
simplify this since they are included in all your projects -- update
those guys and all your projects are running the latests and greatest
(which might or might not be what you want).

Anyway, Mr Bones is a little more work, but it provides more
flexibility for my needs. Just thought I would share.

And what a great name!! "Mr Bones"  ;)

Happy New Year to all.
