Yeah, I wondered about that as well.
In fact none of the failures/errors are the same between the two
versions, unless I overlooked one. Although ruby 1.8 has 11 failures, 0
errors, while the ruby 1.9 has 5 failures and 12 errors. So there is
still more work to be done there.

I see that the 'check' and 'check-swig-pl' run with all success, but the
'check-swig-py' has an Exception and does not get off the ground.

I will start by working on all of the 'E' errors in the ruby tests
straight. I primarily want to see these ruby bindings back into the main
bundle of bindings, now that many distributions are defaulting to ruby
1.9.x. Arch linux has followed upstream suite and shipped a subversion
without ruby bindings.

Should I send a separate patch, or amend the previous?

Take care,
