Very well done! I'm glad that at last we can have rdoc documentation without 
frames.

The only thing I don't like is the default style sheet, both because I find 
the green upon gray unpleasant and because the default font looks horrible in 
my browser. This leads to the following question: 

does the darkfish generator use the custom style sheet passed by the user 
using the --style command line option? If so, either I'm doing something wrong 
or there's a bug. I tried the following command:

rdoc --style=my_rdoc.css *.rb

thinking that it would produce documentation using the my_rdoc.css style sheet 
instead of the default one. Instead, the documentation still used the default 
one. I also tried variants of the above command (for example using -s or 
without the = or giving the full path of my_rdoc.css), but with the same 
results. Am I missing something, is it a bug or by design the darkfish 
generator doesn't take into account the --style option (in which case I think 
the documentation for the option should mention it)?

Thanks
