Initial release of lightning

G

Hi rubyists,
I'm announcing lightning, a gem to speed up your commandline
experience. Lightning does this by generating functions which wrap
around commands and translate basenames to their full paths. For
example:

$ cd-gem bacon-1.1.0
# Same as cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/bacon-1.1.0

$ less-ruby fileutils.rb
# Same as less /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/
1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb

Lightning's functions also autocomplete the basenames it can
translate. For more info:

* Install with: gem install lightning

* User's guide: http://tagaholic.me/2010/04/09/lightning-speed-for-the-user.html
* Homepage: http://tagaholic.me/lightning

Enjoy,
Gabriel
