[MacRuby-devel] Does MacRuby Play Well with RVM?

[Chris Rhoden]

The point of my email was:

Use RVM to install 1.9.2 or jRuby or whatever.

Install MacRuby from source or the package, and execute it using `macruby`,
`macirb`, and the like. There is no reason to overload `ruby` to point at
macruby, which is the only real benefit RVM gets you.
