Rite is not Ruby 2.0

For some unkown reasons the ruby developers decided that they don't
like two digit version numbers so after 1.9 comes 2.0. But this step
is very smoothly (at least the step from 1.8.1 to the current CVS) so
i think it will not hurt you very much.

And i doubt that ruby will change so much in the future because i
guess that matz company would not be happy if his work breaks to much
existing code.
