 By splitting the macrubyc UI from the logic, a clean compilation of a
 project can compile much faster, 2.25x faster in the case of active
 support.

 Patches are:
   splitting macrubyc UI from logic:
 https://github.com/ferrous26/MacRuby/commit/f205757a9bce43e310b9bca3ce2a287d3c202054
   rake compile task:
 https://github.com/ferrous26/MacRuby/commit/40c171834dd1e4a3b12d2282ab507301dd8872df

 Drop in rake tasks: https://gist.github.com/884427

 I ran benchmarks on some projects that I use (average of running twice):

   activesupport: 2.25x faster
     fast compile: 72 second
     slow compile: 162 seconds

   minitest: 1.7x faster
     fast compile: 4.1 seconds
     slow compile: 6.9 seconds

   nokogiri: 1.9x faster
     fast compile: 28 seconds
     slow compile: 53 seconds

   ControlTower: 2x faster
     fast compile: 25 seconds
     slow compile: 52 seconds
