in a hotcocoa project i have unpack gem in a vendor/gems directory
then i use them as simple library not as gems.
i use this script to load them at boot time :

One question I have is what the proper expectations are for using Ruby
gems within a Macruby application. For example, I wanted to use the
HTTParty gem for some web service processing since it provides a nice,

Hey John,
I think we'll need to move the to_yaml definition for String into
NSString in the MacRuby case.

Hello Victor,
I see that there is not much action on the list at the moment - so I
