Lately I've been playing quite a bit with DLR technologies, including IronRuby. During some experiments I came to the conclusion that the Kernel.` method isn't implemented yet in the current version. This `backtick` method allows executing OS commands from inside a Ruby program. It's a bit like Process.Start, redirecting the standard output as a string to the Ruby program for further use (actually the Kernel.exec method is precisely implemented like this).
