I would *love* a one click installer that would include a
minimal own compiler tool chain and ruby + all standard
extensions as source code. It could build them (optimized
for the actual hardware) during the installation process.

All the gems that don't have a binary version would just
work on such a system... well i guess I'm dreaming.

How big would such a packet be?
