How about something simple like:  
irb(main):001:0\> Dir.glob( '\*\*/_.rb’ ).each{ |file|  
irb(main):002:1_ puts IO.read(file).scan( /\bTODO\b.+/i )  
irb(main):003:1\> }  
TODO: handle save troubles  
TODO: handle save troubles  
TODO: check for save failure  
TODO: Authorize as admin  
TODO: Authorize as admin  
ToDo - document options  
ToDo: deal with columns that are methods and not actual columns

Also, TextMate (a text editor on Mac OS X with some very nice Ruby  
support) has a bundle command that does this for you.
