patches were accepted upstream.
Rubinius previously installed into a versioned directory, this
update changes it to install into an unversioned directory.
This is going to change the PLIST of all dependent gem ports,
and a commit for them as well as a commit for ruby.port.mk will
be going in shortly.
Minor versions of rubinius do not maintain binary compatibility,
so we'll still need to bump all dependent ports that use C
extensions whenever the minor version of rubinius is updated, but
it is better than bumping all dependent ports.
While here, add some CONFIGURE_ENV stuff to make it possible to
build more ports with C extensions that depend on libraries in
LOCALBASE/lib.

The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++, incorporating
LLVM to compile bytecode to machine code at runtime. The bytecode
compiler and vast majority of the core classes are written in pure Ruby.
To interact with the rest of the system, the VM provides primitives
which can be attached to methods and invoked. Additionally, FFI provides
a direct call path to most C functions.
Rubinius uses a precise, compacting, generational garbage collector. It
includes a compatible C-API for C extensions written for the standard
Ruby interpreter (often referred to as MRI.Matz's Ruby Implementation).
