Oh, good! :) I'll look into that. I'm wondering now, if it would be 
possible to compile one version of the RubyCocoa framework, and then 
compile the .bundle extensions against different versions of ruby... 
that way, you could have one RubyCocoa framework, and it could work 
with many versions of ruby. Seeing as I currently have ruby versions 
1.6, 1.8 and 1.9 installed on my machine, that would be very helpful.
