I didn't realise it could be used on normal objects... this is actually 
appealing to me, because on for our non-DB backed models (Login form, Contact 
form etc) we use ActiveModel, and I don't like that the validations on 
ActiveModel are just different enough from DataMapper's to cause headaches when 
working with the two (:message => "A custom message") for one thing, in 
ActiveModel (rather annoyingly) insists on prepending the field name, while 
DataMapper (rather nicely) knows that custom means custom, so doesn't change 
it.  If I could be using dm-validations throughout my code, that would be 
excellent.

What does one need to include to use them on a non-DM object?
