Is there some way (preferably with idiot-proof instructions :) ) to  
ship the patched Ruby runtime with an app? I'd like to use RubyCocoa  
to write an application that pulls information from the network, so  
if you can't do work in a background thread without recompiling Ruby,  
it's pretty much a non-starter.
