[Ironruby-core] Support For Referencing Ruby Libs As Embedded Resources?

[Michael Letterle]

For what it's worth, this /is/ possible today:

require 'mscorlib'

def resrequire(assembly, resource)



  assem = System::Reflection::Assembly.LoadFile assembly

  stream = assem.GetManifestResourceStream(resource)

  streamreader = System::IO::StreamReader.new stream

  filetext = streamreader.ReadToEnd

  file = File.new resource, 'w'

  file.write filetext

  file.close

  require resource

  File.delete resource



end

I think I'd rather use eval then create a file, but we don't have that yet ;)
