I'm not certain that this will be helpful, but FYI:

* Rails 4 was released last week

* Rails 4 incorporates or includes both of the above packages (jbuilder 
and strong parameters)

* To date, I've utterly failed to get a version of Rails 3.2 working 
with Rack 1.5.  After some initial success, getting the rest of the way 
there has been like pulling on a string, and I have yet to find a 
relatively minimal patch.

* I can confirm that both jbuilder and strong_parameters modify the 
controller template in quite different ways.
