Yeah, I was bad, and didn't tag the release in SVN.  I can go back and 
do that, it would be a good idea.

There is going to have to be a 0.6.1 release fairly soon.  The 
extconf.rb file in 0.6.0 doesn't work for Linux in some cases. The issue 
is the find_library call was incorrect (I didn't go back and look when 
that happened, but it was prior to 0.6.0 release).  I've checked in a 
fix to SVN.  Also Tom provided me another couple of patches.

Well, I know git is the new cool think in town.  But I'm on Windows, and 
love TortoiseSvn, so I don't have any motivation to move to git (lousy 
windows support and no gui).  I suppose it was easy to have some git/svn 
integration thing or some such I could be ok, but just seems like extra 
work to me for little benefit (its not like there are very many 
committers anyway).
