I've looked at it, but found it too big for the simple stuff I'm doing

or (3) use WIN32OLE_EVENT and wait for the correct Event to be fired (I
waited until the status text changed to "Intranet Zone"), but this
creates other problems, because IE blocks when you use WIN32OLE_EVENT
and sleep in ruby, it seems that even running the event handler's loop
in another thread causes IE to block...

Yep, do both of those.

Looks like I'll have to busy-wait on #Busy or #ReadyState
