The file to be required is <install prefix>/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb which
implements the module FileUtils.

require 'filetuils' => correct, embeds fileutils.rb into current file
include FileUtils => correct, mixes in methods from FileUtils module into
current class/module.

At least, thats how I learned it.... I'm no Ruby professional so don't quote me.
