1.9 support would be nice, but really I'm looking for something that works
on JRuby.  If it doesn't work on 1.9 I'm not too worried for the time being.

I don't care what language it's written in, however I don't want to depend
on the old extension API because I'd like for my gem to work on JRuby.  I
plan on using this gem on JRuby in the very near future and in that regard
very much want to support it.
