Initial import of ruby18 package; Ruby 1.8.1 + several security fixes.
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. Detail changes from Ruby 1.6.8 is huge and I know details in Ruby's site. <http://www.ruby-lang.org/ja/man/index.cgi?cmd=view;name=1.6.8%A4%AB%A4%E91.8.0%A4%D8%A4%CE%CA%D1%B9%B9%C5%C0%28%A4%DE%A4%C8%A4%E1%29> Sadly, this is written in Japanese and I don't know where is English version.
