mod_rails aka mod_rack aka mod_ruby

[Phillip B Oldham]

I personally think a mod_rack would be a great idea of nginx. wsgi was a 
great thing for unifying python apps, and since ruby is very close but 
in its infancy a mod_rack tie with nginx might allow the community to 
shift focus on integration to other things.
