Hm, it's a while now since I uploaded it to RF, so it should work.
This is my first gem on RF, so I might not have done everything right,
but it works for me now, and has before too.. Hopefully (or, hopefully
not, probably) it's just some sort of server hickup.

The gem file is here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=5831&release_id=20294
