Great!

Keep using mkmf for the time being. moving to mkrf will require users
previously have it installed to properly build the gem on every
platform, also dunno it's state regarding cross-platform
functionality.

I'll work on setting up monitoring for it and provide you patches.

Also, I'll build it against 8.2 since 8.3 as not been promoted to
stable.

Will be helpful if you can also provide me a mailing list where the
integration builder will output the building results...

Something like this:
