Subject: Re: Compiling Ruby

When building ruby, a program called miniruby is built; it seems to be 
a full ruby interpreter with minimal libs included.  At work, I use it 
as a FreeBSD sysinstall replacement (well, I wrote a sysinstall 
replacement in Ruby, and my statically linked ruby calls that from 
init).  It seems to do what you need.
