one last thing - shared.rb is only 44 lines of code so i really don't  
expect you to introduce a dependancy, rather i expect you to steal it  
and drop it into your project's lib dir and be done with it.  it's  
small enough to simply cut and paste into any existing project as well.

if you want to depend on it, however, the gem makes it easy.

cheers.
