Ruby Mongo driver

I've been working on a pure-Ruby driver for Mongo, 10gen's document database. If you are of the Java persuasion, then check out Geir Magnusson Jr's Java driver for Mongo.

One thing that we are discussing internally at 10gen is which layer of the system should be responsible for automatically creating primary key fields for records. Mongo does not require them, but Babble (the 10gen cloud computing app server) does. I think what will end up happening is that the driver will not add them unless the caller specifically asks for it.
