This is a major refactoring of the rrt_ruby library (it is still pre-alpha though) to adapt it more to the typical usage it has been put to until now.
The intention is to minimize the interaction with the OLE server and for this a package based approach to element handling has been introduced.
The library continues to be incomplete but the basic structure is now set.
The TODO list for the coming versions (0.4 and 0.5) includes the refactoring of the Finder module and the completion of missing/incomplete Element classes.
