I'm interested more in packaging really. I don't want to use MacRuby. It's
pure ruby, on a mac, but I can't ask the user to install any gems. A crude
solution would be to provide a link to a shell script that launched a
sinatra app and then did 'open localhost:3000/myapp', but I don't think that
would be the best way to do this.
