Be aware that there's a new feature in Rails 2.2.2 that stops it working
with Solaris/OpenSolaris and AIX (and any other platform who's iconv
libraries don't support Transliteration). The problem and the fix are
detailed here:

We need to make a decision on what is the right time to do this - not

would be to wait for a version to be stable enough and used by some
significant number of people before we port to it.
2.2.2 is stable, ruby 1.9 is compatible with 2.2.2. The 2.2.2 port is
required regardless, but 1.9 would be a test to see if it works and no
dependent changes would be made to the source. If necessary, I'll
create a branch.
