Great, if it is possible, it would be *the* definitive solution for Tk
with Ruby.

If you have a recipe on how to build this full Ruby/Tk distrib from
sources, I could test it on Macosx and some linux.
These source would be :
- ruby-1.9xxx
- tcltk-8.5xxx or tcltk-8.6xxx

My idea would be to create a stand alone ruby sumo distrib (rubylab ?)
with  Ruby + Tk + Qt + FFI + some science selected extensions.
(This would be the last alternative before switching from Ruby to
Pihton :-( )

But as I'm not very clever in compilation, this will take some
time...
