Subject: javascript hooks for popup_menu in cgi.rb?

I've been using cgi.rb to generate HTML for a while now, and I quite
like it, but there appears to be no support for a number of javascript
hooks, such as onChange for popup menus.  Is there an easy way to
tweak them into existence, or should I just write some patches for
cgi.rb and submit them?

Here's what I'm trying to do:

  cgi.popup_menu('NAME' => 'myname',
                 'onChange' => "alert('Somebody selected an index!');",
                 'VALUES' => menu_contents)

As a quick inspection of the cgi.rb source shows, popup_menu does not
pass the onChange parameter to select().  What's the most ruby-ish way
around this?
