Subject: Re: Installing a program Unix-like

I can't find it now (in under a minute), but somebody posted an
equivalent to the standard install.rb (install-doc.rb?) that would run
rdoc on the .rb files, and install the docs in a "standard" location.
If you search the RAA or ruby-talk archives, hopefully you can find it.
I thought i bookmarked it, but its lost at the moment.

Cheers,
Sam
