Ruby-2.2.2 is listed as a required dependency. But, I can't seem
to find this requirement mentioned anywhere except on LFS:

https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-gtk/2015-May/002357.html

Is Ruby really required, or is this just for those who intend to
run Gnome? What later uses the Ruby WebKitGTK+ bindings?

Obviously not a big deal either way given that Ruby itself doesn't
have any significant dependencies.

Ruby is used to generate some source code, not bindings.
