[TxMt] PyMate in RUBY?!?!?

[Alexander Ross]

Jay,

I haven't touched PyCheckMate and it should still work as  
advertised.  Feel free to look at how pymate.rb does it's thing.  All  
you should really have to do is modify the scrip to take advantage of  
soryu's code.  Look at webpreview.rb in TextMate support.
