Heh, of course they have to be asked. =) Don't worry, there are no
licensing, no copyright, nothing at all. I'll public domain it and put
the source up somewhere. The big problem for JRuby is that it's a
classic SPI, so it must reside in it's own jar-file and all that stuff,
so I didn't know how I would handle this inside the JRuby source tree.
