Correct, it is both a Rails plugin and a Capistrano plugin.  It
leverages ActionMailer for easy setup.  It might be easy to unhook
from the rest of rails, but I have no reason to try... all I do is
rails.  All day, all night, every day ;)

You add a task to your deploy script, I call mine deploy:notify and
add a hook to it wherever you want.  I hook mine so it is the last
thing that runs, so I know the deploy actually did all work.
Basically it gives you a method that you could call from any task, so
you don't really need deploy:notify, or a hook.  You could just call
the method from another pre-existing task.

Yeah, that is the idea behind the pastie Mislav posted that is linked
from the plugin homepage.  I don't like re-rolling my own stuff every
time I do a new site though, so I prefer having a shake 'n bake
solution that I can reuse everywhere with little or no change.
