Why not just download the tgz, use the CGI interface and then start 
developing in that. Simply untar in a directory. Symlink wherever you 
host expects files to be located at to the public directory and start 
developing in the app directory.

Doing it this way means each app has it's own rails but it isn't too big 
so that probably isn't an issue. Am I missing something?
