[Radiant] RadiantOnRails extension

[Matt Parrish]

Loren,

Yes, it's not quite straightforward at the moment to retrofit an  
existing Rails app.  These are the exact issues that need to be  
worked out for the plugin version of Radiant, though.  So, anything  
you figure out should be applicable there.  I'm guessing that there  
might be a few minor changes to the Radiant code to get things  
working cleanly in instance, gem and plugin modes.
