Often I don’t use “rake gen” to generate the library initializers file.  
I  
usually just run GenerateInitilizers.cmd, found in the  
src\IronRuby.Libraries folder.

Recently, at r111, this file got sullied with yet more MERLIN\_ROOT guff.  
This was about the time that it was re-jigged to accommodate independent  
library initializers.

It would be great if this got cleaned up again (after TechEd obviously).

By the way, this is what I change it to so that it works from anywhere:

“%dp0…\build\Debug\ClassInitGenerator”  
“%dp0…\build\Debug\IronRuby.Libraries.dll”
