[BioRuby] moving to Ruby 1.8?

[Moses Hohman]

Also, on the OS X/Ruby 1.8 question, I think that if the older releases 
are still available, then we shouldn't wait, because in fact it is 
pretty easy to install Ruby 1.8 on OS X. But that is just my 
perspective. I admit I'm very comfortable with the whole ./configure, 
make, make install thing, and others may not be as comfortable. 
However, "configure/make/sudo make install" does run very smoothly, on 
10.3 at least.
