Good to know. You were talking about updating the README; would you
like to do that, or should I?

10.10 would be the best. It wouldn't be bad to support 10.4 too, as
it's an LTS release, but I'm not that worried about it. Most ubuntu
users upgrade, because it automatically prompts them to. LTS people
tend to be on servers...

Well, I was thinking about starting by checking out how it was done in
the old shoes. The Rakefile is a bit of a monster, though...
I was going to begin by looking into exactly how a .app works. The
biggest things:
* We'll need to embed an actual Ruby.
* We can copy the gems over from the compiler's computer. This should
help on qtruby compilation.
* we also need to figure out what exactly is required by qtruby in
this regard. What qt libraries will we need to package in?
> Happily rvm has shown us a bit of a path to embedding ruby
This is interesting, I didn't even think about that angle...
