I've just changed Hijack so that you can hijack any Ruby process - no need
for your target process to require any code before it can be hijacked. It
does this by first injecting a payload using gdb, then it signals the
process to start up a DRb server which the hijack client then connects to.

This should make it a lot more useful as most people probably wouldn't think
about using something like LiveConsole until a problem is known.. at which
point you have to enable LiveConsole in your app, restart it and then wait
for the problem to arise again.

The code is very new and fragile but it'd be great to get some feedback!
