A while back I posted a list of external libraries that we needed to implement 
in order to support gems and Rails. The following summarizes the libraries that 
I've been working on. Could others who are also working on these libraries 
please post a status update?

Win32API.so:
  - we just need to delete this library, it's not really needed.

syck.so (YAML):
  - any progress John?

thread.so:
  - I think we can probably get by for now with Matz's original thread.rb 
implementation was used prior to when the native fastthread support was added.

socket.so:
 - partially implemented in the currently checked in IronRuby.Library\Builtins
 - I've created a pure Ruby implementation of the Socket class for methods like 
gethostbyname (just waiting on resolution to my Enum to Fixnum issue)

stringio.so:
 - any progress Eduardo?

zlib.so:
 - any progress Michael?

digest.so:
 - I have a pure Ruby implementation (just waiting on MemberwiseClone 
clarification from Seo and class method bug fix)

strscan.so:
 - any progress Curt?

openssl.so:
 - I've posted a pure Ruby implementation of this module

sqlite3_api.so:
 - my colleague Brian Blackwell is investigating this and other database APIs


Again, please post a status update if you are working on any of these libraries.


Cheers, Wayne.
