Subject: New install patch

Ok,

I've messed around with extmk.rb.in as well as instruby.rb and
mkconfig.rb.

It now works for me, other people may be (a) interested or (b) horrified.

Sorry, Jim, it won't provide binary relocation, as the ruby binary
contains the path specified at configure time, not install time.

The only way I can see to support that is to insist on a fixed path that
can then be symlinked to the actual location, say /opt/ruby. In which
case, you can configure ruby to look in /opt/ruby but install it wherever
you like. In that case, this install patch _would_ be useful.

Do you think Matz would be interested in this at all?

Cheers,
Mike
