Yes, rabal is there to bootstrap a basic ruby project. By default it  
assumes a basic library.

```
* add --use-bin to stub out a commandline application
* add --use-extension to add a C extension
* add --use-rubyforge to link it to a rubyforge project
* add --use-spec to use Rspec for testing
* add --use-test to use Test::Unit for testing
* add --use-website to add in tasks to setup and create a website
       about your project

```

If you have some suggestions or bugs, please let me know.

enjoy,
