Is it possible to generate a class at run-time and return it?

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, but maybe this will help you?  If
not, could you give a little more information about what you want your
auto-generated class to look like?

Instead of:

  class Foo < Bar
  end

you could try:

  Foo = Class.new Bar

Class names are just constants, after all.  If you want it to be anonymous,
just don't set it to Foo.

Of course, you could always generate the Ruby code you want in a string, and
eval that, but there are usually easier ways to do what you want.
