[TxMt] A Unified build/run tool

[Mikael Säker]

There's an initiative to unify the web preview output of all  
different run tools (RubyMate, PyMate etc) and this is fine and  
dandy. However, I've been thinking about going a step further and  
creating a generic "RunMate" that can be configured to capture output  
and do the stuff the other "Mates" are capable of.

So attached is a draft version of such a tool called "RunMate.rb".  
Just drop it in Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/Bin or  
where you keep your custom stuff.

It's used by specifying the following arguments:

--format=[fmt] 	(fmt can be "gcc", "ruby", "javac" or "haxe" at the  
moment).
--ant			(strips the stuff ant adds to its subtools' output)
--run=[cmd]		(run the specified command and capture its output.  
STDERR and STDOUT are caught automatically)

So, here's how a java ANT build could look like: RunMate.rb -- 
format=javac --ant --run="ant -s build.xml"

And a ruby run thing: RunMate.rb --format=ruby --run="ruby  
\"$TM_FILEPATH\""

I don't know if you believe going forward with this is a worthwhile  
effort so please give comments and suggestions.
