That shouldn't be necessary though - my patch is tiny: http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/treetop/commit/660656205297abe0ea63dfac66c0966756c8153a But it's a month old and noone else has committed anything to Treetop since. Also, despite the number of forks of Treetop, not a single commit in these forks have been merged back to the official repo. Ever. I know stewardship of the project has been handed over, but it still doesn't seem to go anywhere. Too bad, because Treetop is a kickass library. Looks like my only option is to fork it, release my own gem and make Cucumber depend on that instead. That sucks.
