Subject: Re: Drake: Distributed Rake


I forgot to mention that there is a good reason for the gem-only
release.  Despite outward appearances, Drake is internally the same as
Rake, down to using the same file names and top-level module named
'Rake'.  This is to make a mainline merge easier, if Jim decides to do
so.  (The fork stems from the latest Rake repository.)

Since Rubygems installs each gem in separate directory, it it safe to
have Rake and Drake installed at the same time.  However if you bypass
gems by executing drake's install.rb, your rake will be the parallized
one.

I also forgot to thank Jim, who transitioned to github in order to
help me do this.

Thanks--
J
