Subject: Re: scrubyt anyone?

Ok, so this seems to be a problem of scrubyt, then. I only
tried ruby 1.9 and could not make the test pass.
After some fiddling with scrubyts code, the error came deep
from inside mechanize, as far as I recall, something like
an unexpected nil running loose.
So I put the blame to mechanize, seems that was too fast.
The fixes I introduced were mainly 1.9 specific things, like the
usage of jcode and case syntax.

To quote my post to the google groups list:
1) /scrubyt/utils/simple_example_lookup.rb:18: syntax error,
unexpected $end, expecting ')'
    text.gsub!('�', '&#187;')
    Solution: insert "#coding UTF-8" at the top of the file
2) /scrubyt/core/navigation/agents/firewatir.rb:52: syntax error,
unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or
'\n' (SyntaxError)
     when 'file': @@agent.goto("file://"+ @@cu...
    Solution: replace ":" ---> "then"

Afterwards the tests still fail with 6 errors.
