Excellent! Glad it solved your problem.
This probably should be a generally available facility. It seems like
something people might want to do. Better as an executable, though,
rather than needing an interpreter folks may not have.
I imagine a C++ version wouldn't be all that much bigger. I just
prefer Ruby for quick iterative development. If someone else
feels like writing it, feel free... (:-)) Otherwise I might get round to
it sometime. Or would this make a good GSoC task?
