fast_xs provides C extensions for escaping text.
The original String#fast_xs method is based on the xchar code by Sam Ruby:
o intertwingly.net/stories/2005/09/28/xchar.rb
o intertwingly.net/blog/2005/09/28/XML-Cleansing
_why also packages an older version with Hpricot (patches submitted). The
version here should be compatible with the latest version of Hpricot code.
Ruby on Rails will automatically use String#fast_xs from either Hpricot or this
gem version with the bundled Builder package.
String#fast_xs is an almost exact translation of Sam Ruby's original
implementation (String#to_xs), but it does escape """ (which is an
optional, but all parsers are able ot handle it. XML::Builder as packaged in
Rails 2.0 will be automatically use String#fast_xs instead of String#to_xs
available.

create USES=gem and update rubygem- ports to use it
Note that for now ports still have to have USE_RUBY=yes to use USES=gem

many ruby/rubygem ports: death of rubyforge.org
rubyforge.org shutdown on May 15, 2014. This commit accounts for that by doing
several things:
- Deprecate ruby that had only rubyforge.org as MASTER_SITES (and so are now
only fetchable via our cache)
- Deprecate ports that depend on those
- Update the WWW pkg-descr line that points to rubyforge.org for rubygem ports
(which are still fetchable from rubygems.org)
The next step will be to remove rubyforge.org from bsd.sites.mk, after these
deprecated ports are deleted.
