Subject: 'is a quine' is a quine

In case anyone's bored, how about another of those nice challanges?

1) Write a quine, i.e. a program that prints it's own source.  Extra
points awarded for doing interesting things like encrypting or
compressing any data (and including the pure ruby code to extract them :)

2) Write a multiquine, i.e. a program that is a quine and can also print
the source of a quine in another language, which can also print the
source of the original program.  If that's too easy, try it with more
languages - see how many interpreters you can pipe through before you go
insane, or get bored :)

3) Write a polygot which includes Ruby, i.e. a program that does the
same thing in many different languages.

4) Combine the above >:)

Of course, you shall be disqualified if your code isn't elegent ;)
