Wilson 1.1.0 Released! RAWR!

wilson version 1.1.0 has been released!

Wilson is a pure ruby x86 assembler. No, really. Worst Idea Evar.

Why “wilson”? I wanted to name it “metal”, but there is an existing
project with that name… So I’m naming it after Wilson B., who
is about as metal as you can get (and it is easier to spell than
“bilkovich”, even tho that sounds more metal).
