Well, you don't necessarily need automake and gmake to build ruby, but
you'll need them for building other pieces of software anyway.

By the way, you may want to set RUBY_ARCH as follows in
/etc/make.conf:

RUBY_ARCH=     ${MACHINE_ARCH}-freebsd${PORTOBJFORMAT}${OSREL}

so ruby module ports can build and work fine with your custom-built
ruby.  Somehow the ports system gives a configure script a configure
target that is not equal to what most configure scipts automatically
detect.

I'll mention this somewhere, maybe in English version of Install
Guide. (Not available yet)

Absolutely true.

Aha.  That's my inevitable way of promoting something. :)
