Sorry to come in n this late. Dominik is correct about the version of Ruby
used in the most recent One-Click Installer release. The OCI does have a
"src" subdirectory that is supposed to contain the source code for the ruby
it was build from, but I just found out this week that it incorrectly
contains the 12-25-2005 source code for Ruby.

I'm going to make a corrective release with the proper source code. In the
meantime, if you want to get the matching source out of Ruby's CVS
repository, then retrieve the source as of the date 4-15-2006 (don't us
4-14-2006, you'll get the wrong source).
