122924 [gsinclair so] I am pleased to announce the release of v0.6.0 of Ruby/Extensions

123078 [ironsoup gma] Yup, that fixed it. Thanks a lot!

^ Require Gems (was Re: [ANN] RubyScript2Exe 0.2.0)
122962 [james graypr] Hmm, is this a good thing?  If Ruby Gems replaces the require(),
122967 [batsman.geo ] I didn't phrase that correctly. require 'foo' will load preferentially
+ 122972 [james graypr] That makes a lot more sense to me.  Thanks for setting me straight.

122989 [dblack wobbl] I think what you want is to alias the old method.  super takes you up

| + 123025 [drbrain segm] irb is written in Ruby, so it is not 100% identical to ruby itself.
