Thanks for suggestion, this should be doable even w/o Ruby specific config
section.
BTW, you application can actually use any configuration format you want. You
don''t need to rely on the default configuration reader when a hosting
DLR language (IronRuby).

Don''t you think ir.exe.config would be much readable with this syntax

<options>

            <librarypaths>
                  <path>..\..\Languages\Ruby\libs\</path>

<path>..\..\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\</path>

<path>..\..\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\site_ruby\</path>

<path>..\..\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\1.8\</path>
            </librarypaths>
      </ ruby>
</options>

instead of this ?

<options>
  <set language="Ruby" option="LibraryPaths"
value="..\..\Languages\Ruby\libs\;..\..\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\;..\..\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\site_ruby\;..\..\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\1.8\"
/>
</options>

Create a Custom Configuration Sections Using ConfigurationSection is quite easy
