Launchy is helper class for launching cross-platform applications in a  
fire and forget manner.

There are application concepts (browser, email client, etc) that are  
common across all platforms, and they may be launched differently on  
each platform. Launchy is here to make a common approach to launching  
external application from within ruby programs.
