Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Running activerecord

I submitted an implementation of File.expand\_path a while ago but it  
hasn’t been comitted yet. If your implementation works better go for it.  
I need it for some things I’m doing with IronRuby too.

Thanks for doing this work, Brian! This will give me a bunch of things  
to look at around the core libs this weekend.
