Part of the reason that this project was accepted to be hosted in
GNOME CVS was that it's written in Ruby, and we don't have many
Ruby applications at home.  So I think having Fantasdic helps our
Ruby bindings, as well as a gnome-dictionary dup written in a
higher level language that can more easily experiment new
features, that we may want to add to gnome-dictionary later...
