Very interested. Great !

This is a much better way then redistributing ruby as an Application 
(like python  does for use with wxWindows).

This is even better. Though one might call it ScriptRunner in that case.

I don't have wxRuby yet, so I tried with python. A good test also. In 
short it doesn't work, but that doesn't mean much at this stage.
For python I need to set PYTHONPATH correctly for my app, how would I 
achieve this with the runner ? Also it would be helpful to be able to 
read the output, is that possible ?

Great idea though,
