The short answer is this:  its supposed to maintain an index of all the 
symbols in the project.  It probably does not do much more than Class symbols 
right now, and it should provide support for "required libraries", too, but 
does not.  And it should be interegrated with the editor to have live 
updates.

It is used by the Search and by the Test::Unit stuff, and I fully expected it 
to be used by refactoring some day (you guy just brought it on a lot sooner 
than I ever expected).

If you have more detailed questions, I'm happy to answer them, but I'm a bit 
rusty on some portions of it, and I don't have much time for RDT right now.
