No-one asked for it yet, and creating a new package would cause it to go
through the NEW queue again, which is somewhat clogged at the moment:

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

If we add a ruby package, we should probably add all the other bindings
too, and maybe enable Flash support (requres ming, which is in NEW).

The patch looks good to me, although I am not familiar with ruby to know
if it works. I wonder why you would modify extconf.rb? I'd also suggest
using make -C instead of cd foo && make.
