It's great to see you are working on this.   I also have a fondness for the
memory hungry bastard.   I think backgroundrb has a lot of good ideas that
could ultimately be fixed by some thread pooling.   Any repair work would
benefit from it being as clean as possible, if people got to Rails 3 they
have lot to worry about anyway.   They might as well worry about Backgroudrb
as well.   Even if you make some really harsh changes and it only worked
with Rails 3 then so be it.

I checked out the changes and they all look sensible to me (kinda in line
with some hacks we made on our own versions).   ...  while you are there :-)
if the mood takes you it would be really handy if  backroundrb could have
it's configurations split by environment via backroundrb.yml.

Regards
Justin
