At around 23M minimum for each Rails application you'd never win.  Take a look 
at how webmin does it.  They basically have a high level API over their little 
plugins that is similar to CGI.  It all runs inside a perl webserver that's 
kind of like Mongrel.

What you probably also want to check out is the gem_plugins gem that comes with 
Mongrel.  It lets you create plugins like this with users just having to 
install a gem.
