Says: 
  require loads libraries into the global
  namespace. So one library may break another library.

It also says:
  So if you modify the library, you have to restart Apache.

Which probably isn't ideal for the dev service.

We should probably turn off mod_ruby on the dev server until we can find
an alternative. Has anyone used fastcgi and suexec for this sort of
thing before?
