Dunno. Are we talking yet, Mauricio? :)

I guess I didn't explain the 'nonstdlib' concept very well, then. It's
now called 'addlib' and rooted at http://addlib.rubyforge.org.
The idea of 'addlib' is to create a collection of fairly general
libraries, not to provide a packaging/distribution mechanism for
existing ones.
For those who are interested, I'll be creating a "rough" directory in
the CVS soon (no promises as to when :) containing the following code:
- an Enum module (by Tim Hunter, think C's enum keyword)
- an IO mixin for dealing with binary data (Michael Neumann's recent
ruby-talk contribution)
- a command-line command parser, as opposed to option parser (ripped
from RubyGems, works nicely with optparse)
That should give some idea of the nature of the project.
Gavin
