[rubydetroit] Tracing modules that get loaded

[Larry Siden]

I want to trace from my console the modules that get loaded.  I tried redefining Kernel#load like so: http://pastie.org/941636.  But my new #load never gets called.  

Is it #require that I need to over-ride?   #require is already written in C and does it's own searching, so I would have to recompile Ruby to get it to tell me where it's finding stuff.  

There must be an easier way to accomplish this that I don't know about.  I checked Ruby command-line arguments but didn't find anything.  I even tried running the script in "irb --tracer" and tee'd it to a tmp file and killed it after it spewed out over 36K lines but found nothing useful.

I'm running a web server called Sproutcore.  I installed the 'thin' gem, which Sproutcore "magically" loads as a replacement to Rack, but as a result, the server reverts to some old behavior that I had to patch in Rack.  But in order to figure out what to fix now, I'd like to see what it's loading.  Surely there is a better way to achieve this.
