Ruby 1.6.8.2003.10.15_1 publicity

Howdy folks,

This morning I portupgraded two servers to ruby-1.6.8.2003.10.15_1 (from
ruby-1.6.8.2003.10.15). Since then, ruby appears to have died:

# portversion -v
-bash: /usr/local/sbin/portversion: /usr/local/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Yet `pkg_info ruby-1.6.8.2003.10.15_1` shows that the package is installed.

Naturally, this means that the portupgrade tools don't work. Is this a
known problem? http://www.freshports.org/lang/ruby16/ shows a fairly
important commit message that I'm going to use to attempt to recover.
This is likely the sort of thing that could likely use a bit more
publicity ;-)

-T
