I have to say that rails is such a mess right now.  Notta working and it
sucks.  I would prefer slower build out to failed stuff.

Oniguruma does not work on ruby v1.8.6 and gem install oniguruma fails, and
compile workarounds fail as well.

Also, ruby v1.8.6 and support for an older rails (v1.1.6) fails which is
required for my project.  Used to work fine, but now I get tons of bugs like
the 'require_gem' vs. 'gem' and the total failure of REXML (which is
inexplicable).

REXML fails on ruby v1.8.6 due to NoMethodError "private method 'gsub'
called for true:TrueClass" ??

The newer RubyGems v1.1.1 is a hack-a-mess and seems to break all.

Aaarrrgh I need to do django and move away from this crappery.  I really
like ruby but rails not so much.
