taca 984b7edbe0 Adding some fixes:
(1) Don't use make's varibalbe in DESCR; fixes PR pkg/34920.
    (2) Use --enable-wide-getaddrinfo on not only Linux but Solaris.
    (3) Make sure to link libruby.so with proper -R linker option.

Thanks for Dan McMahill who reported and suggested fix to (2) and (3)
with private mail.  And thanks for Takayoshi Kochi who reports PR pkg/34920.

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.)
This package is Ruby 1.8 based release.
