[ruby-core:17582] Re: rubychecker - runs checks on a Ruby interpreter

It's funny, this morning I strongly felt it should be written in shell, 
I don't feel as strongly about that now.

Anyway, I've rewritten the program in Ruby. You'll now find a 
"rubychecker.rb" in the git repo. It works basically the same as the 
earlier shell version, except you can pass it arguments like "rspec", 
"rubyspec", and "rails" if you want it to run only that specific suite. 
The arguments are almost the same as the old program, but look at bottom 
of the file for specifics.

When I get some time, I'll write docs specifically for it (although 
they'll be 95% identical to those for the shell version). I'll also try 
including RubyZip to avoid the dependency on an external "unzip" 
command. I'll also try to abstract the checks and provide way to tell it 
to run specific versions of a test suite from the command-line, e.g., 
the Rails 1.2.6 suite. However, it currently does everything I actually 
need.

For now I'm keeping both versions around, and see what people prefer.

Thoughts?
