Macruby rewrote ruby from the ground up in objective-c. It installed an

well. As a result, even a very simple Macruby app had a huge disk footprint.

Looks like install_name_tool's entire point is to copy a tool into a project 
and then alter the paths to be relative to the executable. If it's not doing 
that it's likely a config problem with the tool and not the nature the Ruby 
install.

Actually, I found a configure flag for Ruby that makes this feasible: --enable-load-relative

After that, I was able to do some additional jiggering with install_name_tool to get things running as expected in an app bundle.
