As far as I know, no one is working on that.

The only problem I see is having two copies of the code in the archive
... but that's already the case with rubygems and rake (which were
incoroporated in ruby1.9.*) ...

You should probably install the library code to
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.9.1 instead of /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby, so
that ruby1.8 will always load its own copy instead of this new one.
