Doing it as a FreeRIDE plugin is definitely possible. But if you are mainly
concerned about the number of platforms/architectures that can be support,
you should first look at what FXRuby/Fox supports (since that is what
FreeRIDE uses for its GUI). If FXRuby runs everywhere that you want, then
FreeRIDE is a viable option.
