Subject: Re: Can we attack the 'not enough libraries' thing straight on?

want to here a crazy idea?

make require internet capable:

	require 'http://www.ruby.or/raa/somepackage/code.rb'

oh, it gets crazier. before going out on the internet require will look for it 
locally. if it is available locally great, but if the package is not 
installed locally then it will use raainstall to install it. then finish the 
require. in essence, all code in the RAA gets a namespace according to the 
url and that is used for the require.

crazy?
