I haven't checked it yet, but I thought that this might build
dependencies fro ruby as non universal.

The ruby portfile uses autoconf, but I'm not sure if it's really
needed. I will try this later on...
I have added a patch which instead of patching configure.in patches
configure, so autoconf (and perl) is not needed anymore. I have tested
it with a fresh installation and it builds without a problem, but I'm
by no means a configure/make expert so if there's some reason why this
shouldn't be done I would like to hear it.
