Subject: Creating a method given a block

Suppose I have a method 'build' to which I am passing
(among other things) a Symbol and a block.

The build method will define a method of the given
name and the block will in effect be the "body"
of that block.

I've been messing with Procs trying to get this to
work. Just can't figure it out.

Don't say "define_method" because I'm 1.6-compatible.
Don't know how that one works anyway.

For the visual thinkers:

  def build(a, b, c, sym, &block)
    #...
    # Could use eval to define method
    # referred to by 'sym'... but how
    # to get it to call the block??
  end

  build(x, y, z, :get_busy) { do_stuff(); do_some_more() }

Just curious.
