I completely agree that the source files need to be broken up into smaller
chunks. I'll try to focus some attention on that issue before the next
release.

Good news. Thanks very much for sharing the information about the RPMs you
needed and so forth. There are also Debian packages available as well; I
need to update the FXRuby documentation to provide pointers to all of those.
