Well, if you have good test coverage for your ruby code, that should be
doable :) Probably monkey patching and good tests is the way to go then.
In your journeys through the Ruby standard libraries, have you noticed
that they tend to require/load dependencies dynamically (i.e. based on
magic strings a static automation tool could not follow) fairly
frequently? Or is it rather rare? Also, would it be feasible to host the
standard libraries on the web and rig up the hosting environment to fall
back to a web server if the libraries being dynamically loaded weren't
properly deployed with the app?

It is not possible to completely and reliably automate such task in
general. You could run your application and see what files are being
required. You can monkey-patch Kernel#require and load so that they log
the files being required. However you would need to exercise all code
paths that might possibly load a file to get the full list.

Is anyone aware of a tool that can recursively detect (and possibly
extract) ruby dependencies given a top level .rb, or set of .rb files? I
could see it being a tedious process to discover manually what
components of the standard library were used by any given application.

There are not two copies, one is ruby stdlib, and one is IronRuby's own
lib. The ruby stdlib contains pieces implemented in ruby, as well as C.
In IronRuby we ported all the C stuff to C# (that's what
IronRuby.Libraries.dll is), and redistribute the ruby code. So both
directories are all part of the standard library.

For Silverlight, I would suggest you only deploy the files that you use;
the entire stdlib is fairly large.
