OK...so FreeRIDE is written purely in Ruby...there is NO 'C' code.  Not
one line.  But we do depend on native Ruby extensions including FXRuby
(with FXScintilla) and Ripper (source parser).  Ripper is a quick
recompile, but FXRuby and FXScintilla (thus Fox and Scintilla) is
another matter.  If these run on your platform and work with Ruby,
FreeRIDE should work there.  If not, it won't.
