Thanks. That's excellent - I can easily load gems that way too I guess (adding foo.zip to the load path).
I got the impression from the "sl back to just text" document that loading zips wasn't implemented yet - should've just given it a try. Gestalt does seem really awesome - providing textmate bundles is a nice touch.
