You are right, thats why I used this extension in the first place.
However, in preparing the codebase to support caching I think I 'll
probably change the extension, other opinions?

Sure.

I created the 3 gems, looks much nicer. Btw you are right about Rails
being monolithic. I tried to see how i could use just action mailer or
just active support with Nitro, but it doesnt seem possible. There is
lots of bloat. And I hate those LOOOOOOOOONG namespace modules 
(like ActiveSupport::CoreExt::Numeric)

Anyway expect some sort of active support/ actionmailer functionality in
the next version of Nitro. And much more cleaned up code.
