Attached is a zipfile containing skeleton definitions for all classes  
and methods from

Zlib, Win32API, Thread, Syck, StrScan, StringIO, SQLite3, Socket,  
OpenSSL and Digest that get called during the execution of a number of  
simple gems and RoR use cases. I’ve made the parameter and return types  
as strong as possible (based on CRuby trace information for these use  
cases), so as to simply the task of implementing these methods. For  
those interested in prototyping any of these libraries, these skeletons  
may be a good starting point.

Cheers, Wayne.

Really cool 🙂

If nobody is doing zlib and using the .NET compression stuff is  
sufficient  
then I can implement that class.
