In case you were watching the commit logs, you'd have noticed that I
have just checked in an initial attempt at Ruby bindings for POI. This
allows the use of the POI from everyone's favourite language :). 

The wrapping is done by compiling POI with GCJ, and generating the Ruby
wrapper with SWIG. 

The inspiration for this project is PyLucene, so thanks to the OSAF
folks. 

While I think this is the best place for this code, and so I have
checked this into the POI jakarta repository, I am open to suggestions
stating that this should go into RubyForge etc...

Docs are at http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/poi-ruby.html

This is still in its initial stages (so you'd need to compile from
source..) ... but there's enuf of the feature set to be useful. Further
enhancements to follow!

Thoughts/feedback/brickbats?
