<div>I can try it next week once I have my machine set up again. I&#39;m unable to try it until then, unfortunately. Also, I noticed that JRuby is sharing the same implementation (or similar), but both are based on FFI, not straight up Ruby.</div>


<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone started working on an IronRuby FFI impl? If not, would it be better to start working on this and get Etc working with FFI?</div>
