[MacRuby-devel] dylib hell

[Steven Parkes]

As a quick follow up, I realized that since the focus of my macruby stuff is cocoa apps which I compile into mach executables avoiding the macruby executable, I have the opportunity to (and, actually, must) add the custom sqlite there. Doesn't work for CLI apps that run against macruby, but those I can still do with 1.8/1.9 (so far, anyway).
