I have lost the thread at a place in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb
on line 297 where the class script is trying to do the following require:

all fail the same way.

The only sustainable organizing methods focus not on scale,
but on good design of the functional unit,
not on winning battles, but on preservation.
