Cool, thanks for the script. I'm just starting a project on rubyforge,
so this may be very useful indeed.

Incidentally, the quote in your signature is just a way of stating the
Fallacy of Prior Investment. To value something by the investment
already made ignores the majority of the equation (i.e. potential
future returns). It is unfortunately a common trap for the human mind
to fall into. The saying is not nearly as wise as it sounds.
