As an addendum, I think Rubinius 1.2.4 should be "safe" to use, if you
want to use a Rubinius version compatible with Ruby 1.8.7 -- though Chris
White's recommendations for using 1.9.x-compatible Rubinius 2.0 make
sense if you are willing to go that route.  I actually use RVM to test my
code with MRI 1.8.7 and the 1.9.3 preview, as well as with Rubinius 1.2.5
and the 2.0 preview.  My system provides an MRI Ruby 1.8.7 and an
MRI/YARV Ruby 1.9.2, as well, but frankly I do not remember the last time
I used either of those for anything I wrote.
