+= Hubris
+
+* http://github.com/mwotton/Hubris
+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+  This is a quick and dirty way to call haskell functions from ruby.
+
+== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
+
+  Hubris will wash your car, lie to your boss, and salvage your love life.
+  If you are very, very lucky, it might also let you get some uber-fast
+  functional goodness into your ruby programs through the back door.
+
+== SYNOPSIS:
+
+  Eventually, we'll integrate with RubyInline or something similar, 
+  so we can write inline Haskell. Until that happy day:
+
+    write a haskell file (say sample/foo.hs) with some ccall exports declared
+    call "jhc_builder.sh foo.hs". This will build "libfoo.so".
+    write a ruby file similar to sample/hsload.rb in order to call the functions from ruby
+
+if all else fails, mail mwotton@gmail.com with tales of woe.
+
+== REQUIREMENTS:
+
+  - jhc <http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/>
+  - gcc < ... oh, come on. don't tell me you don't have it. >
+  - ruby 1.8.6 or higher
+  - linux (mostly because jhc doesn't seem to be working on Mac at the moment.)
+  - bash
+
+== INSTALL:
+
+* sudo gem install Hubris
