This looks great!  I wanted to try it on Windows 2000, where I have the
MSVC Ruby 1.6.6 PragProg installation, but ran into some problems.

First, it requires 'uri' which does not appear to be part of the Windows
installation.
That's OK; I copied the files from my Linux install.

Then I found that rapt requires Lapidary.

Do you have a list of requirements?

Is there a Ruby script that will scan code and tell me what's required,
what I have, and what I need to get?  (If not, that'll be Yet Another Thing
To Do for me ...)

Oh, and then go get the code, and write my apps, and make me coffee (black,
no sugar)?  :)
(Really, I bet we can out-lazy the best of Perlians ...)

rapt seems to handle part of that, anyway.

Thanks,


James
