   =dev
the dev gem provides functionality to support the development of ruby,c#,c++ and c projects.
when the require 'dev' is used in a rakefile, the variable DEV is defined as well as
several rake tasks.
the DEV variable may be manipulated to modify behavior of defined tasks or to 
cause additional task to be generated.

 require 'dev'

a constant PROJECT hash is the primary variable about which the dev functionality revolves
some example usages:

DEV_HOME/wrk/Examples/HelloRuby/trunk/rakefile.rb
  require 'dev'
