I believe that the support for ruby would need to be added to the semantic 
bovinator package (which is doing the parsing etc instead of using tags).  
See http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml

That said, the speedbar support for ruby files is quite good.  The speedbar 
doesn't have all the functionality of ECB but is quite helpful.  It looks 
like ECB is just a souped-up speedbar.

There is work in the semantic bovinator to use an emacs lisp port of Bison 
so that adding new languages will be much easier.
