Tutorial:  
[Packaging an Application With Crate](http://copiousfreetime.org/articles/2008/11/30/package-an-application-with-crate.html)

Crate is a developer tool to help package up your application as a  
custom static build of the ruby interpreter plus all dependent binary  
extensions. All the pure ruby code (the ruby application, the ruby  
stdlib, etc ) is packed into one or more SQLite databases.

The final distributable pieces are a single executable and a few SQLite  
databases which can be then wrapped up appropriately as an OS X App; a  
self extracting executable for Windows; a shar archive, rpm or tarball  
for Unixes.
