[MacRuby-devel] rSpec for MacRuby

Hi ALL, it's not too much of an issue if one is using the Ruby Version
Manager (RVM) because it creates separate executable and gem directories for
each Ruby implementation.  I haven't used MacRuby under RVM but it seems to
do an excellent job of adding the appropriate executables to the path based
on the current Ruby implementation.
