MRvcmt: a Multiplatform Ruby Visual CMT

This is a conversion of the wonderful VCMT for Linux, by Marco Frailis, inspired by the marvelous vcmt of Toby Burnett, to a platform independent Visual CMT; here with platforms we means basically Windows XP and Linux.

For further information please contact Marco Frailis or Riccardo Giannitrapani. Some advices

• The GUI is still awful in some part, be patient
• Yes, MRvcmt is done in Ruby and uses FOX toolkit .. you'll not supposed to browse its code (I think that none of the normal users of vcmt had ever browsed its code too) .. at the moment is quite a mess, but after some refactoring we should converge to a more clean code .. so don't use it now to learn Ruby (is someone going to learn Ruby? Nhaaa..:) ...
