I think a shared stdlib is the way to go as well. For now I am just 
using /usr/lib/ruby/ for JRuby, though you're welcome to try and patch it to 
look in /usr/lib/jruby.

In my attempt to try to do so I found that libdir, archdir, sitelibdir and 
sitearchdir as part of Config::CONFIG are defined in 
src/org/jruby/libraries/RbConfigLibrary.java, but unfortunately changing those 
did not affect the load library PATH.

As far as separation between the two in /usr/lib/ruby goes: JRuby already looks 
in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/java as part of its default LOAD_PATH (but it's not 
anywhere near the first directory checked).

Ruby 1.9 is using native threads, but they have a giant lock that lets them get 
away with much of this (or so says the main JRuby dev -- see 
http://headius.blogspot.com/2008/04/shared-data-considered-harmful.html).
