Speed is important for this project, and it will have to run on Windows 
at some point. But for now, I can do some of the work on Linux.

So: I checked out http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk. But even on 
Linux, it is not as simple as running "make." Usually, when installing 
from source, I find a configure script that sets everything up for make. 
No such script was delivered with with the subversion checkout of ruby. 
What am I missing to make the process as simple as you describe above? 
Something with autoconf, maybe?

System: Ubuntu 9.04

$ svn update
At revision 24359.
$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
$ ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
