[TxMt] Ruby require_cmd equivalent.

Hello,

I'm working on a new Ant bundle (It's in the reviews section of the TM repository) and one of the commands invokes ant via ruby. Currently I'm warning users that ant is missing/not found using:

ant_version = `ant -version` if ant_version.nil? | ant_version.empty? puts "<h1>Error</h1>Ant was not found, please ensure that it has been installed and your $PATH is set correctly." exit end

but this isn't quite as elegant as the TM shell script require_cmd (ruby prints the cmd not found error, and it takes a fraction longer for ant to start up). Is there an equivalent I should be using with ruby? If not is there a better way this could be achieved.

Thanks, Simon
