Sorry to just get back. I looked a bit through e's docs and it seems like tying Shoes in through Cygwin would be a bit of a chore. I mean I hate to see you include Shoes in your bundle (since it's a 3 meg kit) but that's the only way at the present season. > I see, yes.

Usually, you don't `require 'rails'`, you let Rails wrap up all your Ruby. Although, you can require ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport, so hopefully Shoes will have some kind of gem in due time. _why
