Thanks for the heads up James. Maybe Arto will let us contribute some 
code to his rubyforge project.

I've uploaded what code I've hacked together thus far here 
<http://www.mediafire.com/?fm7sz0n8hbg> but I'd love to get some 
feedback on how to go about building this code into a more robust API. 
The current code supports basic ActiveRecord style queries and 
pluralization when dealing with the resulting objects. There is no error 
handling, write support or lazy loading of related entities....yet.
