Not at all!  That's why I posted here first.  I want to iron things
out before I release it to the masses ;-)

I'm not sure what you mean here.  My plan is to update the local
session via batch file, and the whole Windows environment via
WIN32OLE.  I also plan to use ftype and/or assoc commands to update
things.  Is there a flaw in doing it this way?  Am I missing
something?  I don't know how to update icons (at least automatically),
but I don't know if that's something I care about or not ;-)

That would be great!

I plan to post it, possibly over the weekend.  I am hoping the fine
folks on this list will put it through its paces first.  This could
potentially wreck someone's ruby install, so I want to make sure it's
fairly solid/stable.

Thanks for the feedback!
