ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

• rbenv
• ruby-build

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

#! /bin/sh
#
# An OS X shell script to fix RMagick compilation issues when using Homebrew's
# ImageMagick installation. This script creates the symlinks needed for
# RMagick to compile. Quantum depths of 8 and 16-bits are supported.
#
# You can run this script with "sh whatever_script_name.sh" in your terminal
# or with a click if you change the file extension to "command".
#
# You can manually make the links by visiting the ImagicMagick library
