How is progress on support FFI? That seems to be the new ruby-way for  
interfacing to native code supported by JRuby, Rubinius and to some  
extent the 1.9.x codeline. With FFI built in, as gems are updated to  
support the other ruby interpreters and/or compilers then MacRuby  
would be supported for "free" through those efforts.
