Apologize for the delay, trying to juggle several of these ruby tasks at 
once (rails 2.3.8 and 3.0.0 rpms are in the works, and are almost completed)

Just uploaded a new Ruby 1.8.7 SRPM which reverts the search path to 
what it was in Ruby 1.8.6.

http://mo.morsi.org/files/ruby-1.8.7.249-4.fc13.src.rpm

There is one major change, as noted before even though the Ruby 1.8.6 
rpm  included /usr/lib64/site_ruby in the search path, this directory 
does not exist and is not created / provided by the rpm, so I omitted 
it. If there is a valid reason for its inclusion, it can be readded, but 
the RPM itself should be updated to generate and own it. (Also the 1.8.7 
subdirs for the parallel stacks in included, but commented out with a 
note to uncomment when needed)

I didn't change the approach to the multilib patch as there doesn't seem 
to yet be a consensus as the best way to conditionally apply it. I 
honestly can go whichever way so long as the final solution is 
understandable / standards compliant.

Finally, IMO i think we should be basing our work off my latest SRPM. I 
spent a lot of time removing uneeded cruft and consolidating related 
bits together, and I think it will provide the simplest way moving 
forward (especially with the parallel stacks stuff)
