--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 However the new embedding approach for MacRuby should work it should not
 be dependent upon the version of MacRuby that is installed on the system
 (ideally it should not even be dependent upon there *being* a version of
 MacRuby installed).

 The primary use case is anticipating needing 0.4, 0.5, or 1.0 installed
 for apps that I am running that depend upon MacRuby (e.g. LimeChat when it
 moves across) and wanting to deploy other versions (e.g. trunk) in my own
 application.

 I'm also not keen on the removal of the build_as_embeddable option and a
 new dependency upon Xcode.

 I would rather this problem were solved by keeping the build_as_embeddable
 rask task and having that task patch the dylibs and and embed them into MR
 itself (rather than into my application).

 The way things are going MacRuby is forcing its dependencies into my
 project. I want to treat it just like any other framework I link to.
