Subject: embedding ruby inside an application?

Is it easy to embed ruby inside an application?

So I want to embed the ruby interpreter inside an existing
application (and not the other way round, provided by ruby extension
mechanism).

For what it's worth, the application is opensource (GPL-ed), is is the
guis Gtk2 widget server. see
http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/guisdoc.html or
http://freshmeat.net/projects/guis/ for details. Currently Guis is
embedding the Lua interpreter but I might consider changing to Ruby if
embedding it inside Guis is doable.  (the C glue between Lua & most of
GTK2 in Guis is machine generated, so I only have to change the
generator, provided embedding ruby inside another code is easily
doable).

Are there opensource application embedding Ruby?
