Ack, there needs to be more squee here! Or at least some chatter :)
I discovered that Emacs can give directories (i.e. projects) variables, with the power of Elisp, and athough the default mechanism is sort of clunky, it's been hacked to be far more neat and tidy.
Then I spent half an hour fiddling with tab settings, as OTW code requires the silly 2 spaces indentation of Ruby. Seriously, tabs are complicated things, and Emacs likes its defaults!
