updating jruby in fedora

[Mo Morsi]

After a bit of package wrangling, we managed to build a "working" JRuby 
release (1.7.16.2) using only yum installed dependencies. The spec has 
been simplified and the package compiles fine and results in a working 
interpreter (based on preliminary surface tests). A couple hacks had to 
be added to get things working (I'm guessing at least a few of these 
won't hold up for prod) and there are a couple missing bits, but it's a 
start.

The spec and can be found here [1] along with supporting patches [2] 
[3]. The current SRPM can be found here [4].

Particularly noteworthy is the list of remaining packages that need to 
be updated or approved for the build to work [5]. Luckily we have access 
to push updates to most packages and have most of the updated builds 
locally, so alot of this is just a matter of going through the process.

I'll probably sideline this for a bit to focus on other higher priority 
tasks but anyone is more than welcome to pick up where I left off until 
I get back to it.
