Changes (by lsansonetti@…):

  * owner:  lsansonetti@… => mattaimonetti@…
  * milestone:  => MacRuby 1.0


Comment:

 Maybe the _scan method in lib/strscan.rb should compile the regexp
 differently.

 instead of

 {{{
       headonly_pattern = Regexp.new('^' + pattern.source, pattern.options)
 }}}

 do

 {{{
       headonly_pattern = Regexp.new('^[\n\r]+' + pattern.source,
 pattern.options)
 }}}

 Assigning to Matt and screening for 1.0.
