+= Active Support -- Utility classes and standard library extensions from Rails
+
+Active Support is a collection of various utility classes and standard library extensions that were found useful
+for Rails. All these additions have hence been collected in this bundle as way to gather all that sugar that makes
+Ruby sweeter.
+
+
+== Download
+
+The latest version of Active Support can be found at
+
+* http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=182

+Documentation can be found at

+
+
+== Installation
+
+The preferred method of installing Active Support is through its GEM file. You'll need to have
+RubyGems[http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl] installed for that, though. If you have it,
+then use:
+
+ % [sudo] gem install activesupport-1.0.0.gem

+The Active Support homepage is http://www.rubyonrails.com. You can find the Active Support
+RubyForge page at http://rubyforge.org/projects/activesupport. And as Jim from Rake says:
+
+ Feel free to submit commits or feature requests. If you send a patch,
+ remember to update the corresponding unit tests. If fact, I prefer
+ new feature to be submitted in the form of new unit tests.
