Re: [Narf-lib-devel] file upload api change

I've tracked it down to a warning that comes from using the system() 
command. (irb is my friend).

Is there a way to "advise" Ruby methods, functions, etc.? like you can 
in Lisp? It's one thing to make sure that /usr/local/bin and those types 
of directories have appropriate permissions (0755). But it's another 
when I'm running the build.rb tests in my own src directory and system() 
complains about those permissions.
