One thing I had written on my bloodred legal pad from Shoes Day
concerned the linux shoes.run launcher.  

  <tef> I'm running under Linux (Ubuntu). Last night I grabbed
    shoes-0.r751-novideo.run and stuck it in ~/localbin (which is in my
    path)
  <tef> I also made a soft-link to "shoes"
  <tef> However, I have to specify the full path to the .rb I
    want to run with it. It won't automatically run something in the
    current directory when I type "shoes tryme.rb"
  <tef> Even "shoes ./tryme.rb" won't work: I have to specify an
    absolute directory.

The latest commit fixes this.  You can build the shoes.run with
`rake installer`, presuming you've got makeself installed.

Then, if ~/bin is in your path:

  $ cd ~/bin
  $ mv ~/git/shoes/pkg/shoes-0.r827.run .
  $ ln -s shoes-0.r827.run shoes

Then, when using ~/bin/shoes, make sure to add double dashes
before the argument list:

  $ cd ~/git/shoes
  $ shoes -- samples/simple-accordion.rb
