This seems to have a downloadable gem:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/opt...

I've got that gem installed and the docs suggest that it includes the
commandline app framework, but I haven't used it. The file
commandline/application.rb is included, so that looks promising.

You're not thinking of highline, are you?

http://highline.ruby...

I also know that I mentioned recently that I was working on one, but
it's not released yet, sadly.

Nah, not me. I'd consider using this or highline (do they even solve the
same problem?).

Do you have plans to do a comparison and post the results?

They don't. Highline is something unique. It allows the easy
creation of command-line applications that ask you questions on a
local machine, like Eliza.

Commandline, on the other hand, is mainly a replacement/alternative to
getopt or optparse. For that, there's also my port of Perl's
Getopt::Declare: http://getoptdeclare.ruby... -- Declare.rdoc
for documentation.
