I wonder: there is a generalized effort to port bindings for C library to ruby/dl ? This seems interesting, if ruby/dl is much used in the core libraries it may grow even out of them and that would be cool, allowing easier usage of packages that, atm, need a pre-compilated binary for platforms that generally do not have a compiler toolchain (i.e. windows or my linux box at the university that desn't have include files for nothing :)
