Rant 0.5.2

[Stefan Lang]

Rant is a flexible build tool written entirely in Ruby,
similar to Rake.

=3D=3D What's new in this release?

* Gems created with Ruby 1.8.3 won't work with other
Ruby versions (because of a YAML bug). This no longer
affects gems created with Rant's RubyPackage task.
Documentation:
http://make.rubyforge.org/files/doc/rubyproject_rdoc.html

* Rework of Rant's FileList class. You can use it as "normal"
Ruby library now. Below is an example.
Documentation:
