== Rant::Env.find_bin...
... could honour PATHEXT on windows.

== Task alias
Since +alias+ is a Ruby keyword, we could use +nick+ to create task
alises.
Other choices: short, cut, name, label, syn, synonym, ident, term,
    shortcut, abbreviation, link

== Here docs
Don't use here documents in the Rant sources, imports and plugins.
They'll get messed up by the rant-import command.

== More notes on rant-import
rant-import removes all lines matching /^\s*#/ per default. Remember
that, I was already bitten by that one in multiline regex!
(FileList#mk_all_rx)

== Running RDoc programmatically
require 'rdoc/rdoc'
rdoc = RDoc::RDoc.new
begin
    rdoc.document(%w(like args from commandline))
rescue RDoc::RDocError
    $stderr.puts "Error when running rdoc: " + $!.message
end

== Changing the behaviour of Rant from Rantfiles
Perhaps a method named like `behave' would be appropriate to to
set options of the Rant application.

== Subdirectories
Allow the use of `#' at the start of a pathname to tell rant that
it should be interpreted relative to the project's root directory.

== Directory structure of +lib/+
+lib/+ contains only two entries:
[rant.rb]      Used to require rantlib and include +Rant+ for small
	       build scripts.
[rant/]	       All files matching <tt>/^rant\w+\.rb$/</tt> are considered
	       as Rant core. Others contain utilities, helper classes,
	       Generators and similar.
[rant/plugin]  Each file ending in <tt>.rb</tt> in this directory is
               considered to load support for one Rant plugin.

== Performance
With version 0.2.6, the big performance problem with task lookup
(caused very slow dependency resolving) is fixed.
The next performance improvement should target Rantfile reading,
especially task creation.

== RubyPackage generator
Currently, the package task(s) generated by RubyPackage doesn't
recognize (and repackage) when files/directories are removed (from the
sources).

== Unit tests
The unit tests contain many assertions of the form
  assert_equal(Rant.run(...), 0)
which are wrong, because the first argument should be the expected
result!

== <tt>FileList < Array</tt> problems
There arise some severe problems. E.g. the Array#flatten method:
    [FileList["*.rb"]].flatten
The +flatten+ method doesn't call *any* method of our FileList but
it recognizes that it is an Array and copies the elements directly.
So there is *no* way to resolve the glob pattern and there will never
any Ruby file be selected!

== Subdirectories
Rant would have to check and eventually +cd+ before doing one of the
following:
* Loading an Rantfile (even through +source+).
* Worker#invoke
* Worker#needed?
* RantApp#run before returning.

== RantContext#rantapp rename
Rename +rantapp+ to +rac+.
Done.

== Circular dependencies
Before Rant detected circular dependencies, we silently removed a task
dependency on itself. Should we remove this mechanism now?

== Testing
Files/directories created during tests match the glob *.t*
so don't give names matching this pattern to regular files, as they
would soon be deleted!

== Compiling C
make uses the env. variables CC and CFLAGS.
