Please export ruby_init_prelude() so that ruby embedded applications such as mod_ruby can call it without calling ruby_options().

That would be really helpful! I know that ruby wasn't meant for embedding, but it makes life easier for embedders with just minor changes.

I don't think exporting it is a nice idea.
What's wrong with ruby_options(0, 0)?

[gfim (Graham Menhennitt)]

Unfortunately, ruby_options(0, 0) causes a SEGV in 1.9.3p327. The crash has been fixed ([Bug #7423]), but I don't think that ruby_options(0, 0) works correctly. It causes the embedded Ruby interpreter to read from standard input (the same as if you just typed "ruby" at a command prompt). I agree that ruby_options(0, 0) would be an acceptable alternative if it worked.
