Subject: irb (show ruby version)

Because I have more than one version of ruby lying around, I want to know which version is being used when I start irb.

I added the following line to irb script to help me out.

print "ruby version: ", `/usr/bin/env ruby --version`

I hope that is useful to someone else.

p.s. I added it right after the " require 'irb' " line
