An excellent idea.  I'll probably work on a gem for it saturday [or if 
another interested party wants to start working on it, I can fork 
whatever exists at that point].
Just want to be able to do a painless "gem install ruby-debug" for 1.9 
:)

A further elaboration of the project [should anyone ever require it] 
would be to auto-download headers for unknown patch numbers, like "oh 
they are 1.9.2 patch 143 I'll see if I can download 
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p143.tar.gz and extract 
it locally."

That would make for a somewhat long gem install, though.  Maybe we 
should stick with hard-coded patch numbers for now :)
