This sentence just lifted a ton of weight off my mind :)

This stuff is already in Rails 2.0 RC1, isn't it? Because in 
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9795 
  you say that you've added a class Rails::Plugin and I've already  
seen this one (and even extended it in that patch). Ok, I think I'll  
go and read that stuff up.

Yes, I already wanted to ask about that. Looks like quite some stuff  
could be dropped from Engines.

I haven't used Engines so far and don't even know all of its features :)

That said, I would be happy to contribute as I'm both personally and  
professionally interested in this approach.

I guess I'll just spend some more time on reading the codebase and  
then report back.

Do you have any suggestions?
