Thank you.

2 further questions:

1) I've got yajl-ruby to build by symlinking gmake to make....  can
you suggest a better approach?  In the past I've forked gems and
altered extconf.rb, but that's hardly sustainable.
2) What's the recommended way to make ruby193 appear as 'ruby' and
'gem' and 'irb' without the 193 suffix?
