According to Stanislav Sedov:

I'm not sure this is a good idea, lots of people, including me, find 1.8.7
too incompatible with 1.8.6 to be that useful.  It includes backport of a
few 1.9.1 constructs and that is breaking scripts.

There are quite a few discussions on that (see http://ruby-forum.com/forum/4) and the
jury (so to say) is still out.

Could you instead create a ruby187 port and keep ruby18 as is it?  Or the
other way around?
