 Expected:

 Between 17(mentioned in presentation, not verified) MB and 30 MB (size of
 .dylib file) to be added to the output .app file on build from Xcode of
 the 'Embed MacRuby' target.

 Observed:

 The actual output file is over 69 mb, even with a base project with no
 code.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1.) open the attached project in Xcode
 2.) select the embed macruby target in the Active Target box
 3.) build
 4.) check the file size of the resulting .app file

 This embeds the whole framework, including all of the installed gems
 (including gems installed by the user!), tools, etc.

 Work around:

 Manually embedding the 'libmacruby.1.9.0.dylib' and using a copy files
 build step seems to work, but I haven't tested on systems without MacRuby
 yet.

 Even with this 30mb seems a bit on the large side.
