This is new, right? So with the addition of a C extension, I guess this 
won't work under JRuby until we get the Ragel bits converted. For those 
using RedCloth under JRuby, feel free to contact us about getting 
RedCloth 4.0 running, or stick to 3.0 for the time being.

(FYI, we've already had a couple reports about RedCloth 4.0 not working).
