heh, that evil excuse for a scripting language was the reason I started
to work on the ruby patch. I got so frustrated each time I tried to
script something 90% of the time was spent fighting with the language
and its syntax so I never got anything done.

So I thought I would try to see how hard it would be to add Ruby as
another scripting language in epic4 and it turns out it wasn't hard at
all. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, most Ruby related things are
easy :)

The current patch has some minor issues that I'm working on, I corrected
one thing today, but the big issue right now is to make each "alias"
execute in its own context. And I'm having some problems doing that with
Ruby from C, for details see my post earlier today with the subject
"Problems with Ruby in C" some help with that would be really
appreciated.

Enjoy the patch :)
