just wrote my 1st Rakefile

It took me a while to finally get going but it was worth while investing the time to dive into it. next step is http://buildr.rubyforge.org , and I am really keen on that. something capable of replacing Ant and Groovy -- amazing! Single-quoted strings as "sh" commands get displayed quite nicely, double-quoted strings get displayed on a single line, thus all line breaks are lost. That looks bad.
