+##A ruby library API to Request Tracker's REST interface. Requires the
+##rubygem rest-client be installed.  You can
+##create a file name .rtclientrc in the same directory as client.rb with a
+##default server/user/pass to connect to RT as, so that you don't have to
+##specify it/update it in lots of different scripts.
+##
+##Thanks to Brian McArdle for patch dealing with spaces in Custom Fields.
+##To reference custom fields in RT that have spaces with rt-client, use an 
+##underscore in the rt-client code, e.g. "CF.{{Has_Space}}"
+##
+##Thanks to Robert Vinson for 1.9.x compatibility when I couldn't be buggered
+##and a great job of refactoring the old mess into something with much fewer
+##dependencies.
+##
+##Thanks to Steven Craig for a bug fix and feature additions to the 
+##usersearch() method.
