     Launchy is helper class for launching cross-platform applications in a
     fire and forget manner.  

     There are application concepts (browser, email client, etc) that are common
     across all platforms, and they may be launched differently on each
     platform.  Launchy is here to make a common approach to launching
     external application from within ruby programs.
