Akinori MUSHA 596ebf8a49 Do The Right Thing. (R)
Overall changes:
	Use tabs instead of sequential spaces.
	Note Author as well as WWW in DESCR.
	Do not install examples when NOPORTDOCS.
	Make RUBY, RUBY_VER and RUBY_ARCH variables overridable.

ruby-date2:
	share/doc/ruby/date2/examples/ -> share/examples/ruby/date2/cal.rb

textproc/ruby-html-parser:
databases/ruby-mysql:
devel/ruby-optparse:
devel/ruby-property:
	Install modules under lib/ruby/site_ruby/${RUBY_VER}/ instead
	of lib/ruby/site_ruby/ or lib/ruby/${RUBY_VER}/

textproc/ruby-rdtool:
	Install documents in .rd format too.
	Format optparse's rd file. (Since ruby-rdtool depends on
	optparse, it cannot be done during optparse's build
	process.  So ruby-rdtool should take care of that when it is
	installed. :)

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby are shown below.
+ Simple Syntax
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+ Operator Overloading
+ Exception Handling
+ Iterators and Closures
+ Garbage Collection
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
+ Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)
