[LRUG] file-cached rails routes

[Mr Jaba]

Might not be quite what you're after, but Rails 3.2 has an entirely new
router called Journey (https://github.com/rails/journey) which is fairly
well decoupled from Rails, and you could perhaps use that and feed it your
routes file? Might be worth a look.

hope that helps a little.
