[TxMt] new command: Universal Un/Comment (BBEdit-ish)

[Chris Thomas]

Ruby supports -e in the same manner as Perl. However, it's awkward with 
a multiline script, so most scripts I place in external files. This one 
I place in a file in my home directory called comment.rb, the TextMate 
command being thus:

  ruby -s "~/comment.rb" "$TM_FILEPATH"
