Oo! Once you're framework is done, then I can compile a Ruby 
application and it will actually be a Ruby application, and not 1/3 of 
a program that breaks on anybody's system that doesn't have necessary 
(but invisible!!) Ruby files?

I wholeheartedly support efforts to enable XCode to make programs that 
actually work right. :)
