#1182: The Mechanize Gem Fails Under MacRuby But Runs Under Ruby 1.9.2

Comment(by cyberfox@…):
Greetings,
I've gotten Mechanize to work by killing off a few odd pieces.
Specifically, if I remove the entire {{{pretty_inspect}}} section (I
killed from the 1.8.4 comment down), and I remove {{{require
'mechanize/inspect'}}} from {{{mechanize.rb}}} it works a LOT better.
It still doesn't set {{{mech}}} in new instances, so you have to do that
by hand. I.e.
{{{a = Mechanize.new { |agent| agent.user_agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh;
U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203
Firefox/3.6.13"}
b = a.get('http://example.com')
b.mech = a
c = b.link_with(:text => /text of a link/).href
d = a.get(c)
d.mech = a
puts d.search('td.inf_lab')[1].parent.children[0].content
puts d.search('td.inf_lab')[1].parent.children[1].content
}}}
I'm guessing that the MacRuby failure comes in when it's doing some
complex code for inherited instance variables, or something like that.
Still, those changes get me able to use Mechanize, with some minor
caveats, which is nice...
