I had looked at rico (which is based on the PicoContainer project), but 
it is only a proof-of-concept (which they admit on the site).  It seemed 
to me that a more robust solution was needed in Ruby for developers who 
want to create enterprise-level applications.  (For what its worth, I 
don't believe Copland is very robust yet--it isn't very thread-safe, for 
one, and lacks several features to make it enterprise-ready.)

It was encouraging, though, to see that I wasn't the first one to think 
of writing an IoC container in Ruby. :)
