Jacob, will you please stop this. There was no rationale for using Ruby in the installer other than "Jacob likes Ruby." Changing from Ruby to shell script made the code simpler and smaller.

Jesse, offhand I think there would be a long shot to use a whole language for simple things like configuration files, but if you feel strongly definitely do argue your point in an article.

I know, and it may not be worth it. Like I said, this particular need
is probably smaller than its original creators expected. But I am
serious and believe it reasonable. It probably also isn't as nice to
use from C++ as it is from D.

Thanks, staging passes the Thrift test suite now.

It seems my ancient freebsd box is running out of memory. Argh. Anyone know how to increase the limit on virtual memory allocated to a process?

Increasing the memory doesn't work - off to try desperate measures!

Since you got yourself that new Win7 machine I bet it would run
FreeBSD in a virtual machine faster than whatever box you have. :)

Probably. I just have no idea how to do that :-(

(It is a fast machine - 6 cores, 16Gb ram, it flies through the test suite!)

I wonder if there's some way to take a disk image of a drive and convert it to a VM disc image? (But then I have no idea whether or not BSD handles hardware changes well.)
