Version 1.3.32 (in progress)
============================
04/30/2007: gga
[Ruby] Removed the need for -DSWIGEXTERN.
Changed swig_ruby_trackings to be a static variable, but also
be kept within a hidden instance variable in the SWIG module.
This allows properly dealing with trackings across multiple
DSOs, which was previously broken.
(bug #1700535 and improvement to patch #1702907)
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby] Fixed GC memory issues with trackings that could lead
to segfaults when dealing, mainly, with static variables.

[Ruby]
Fixed String conversion using old ruby1.6 macros. Now
StringValuePtr() is used if available. This removes warnings
when converting strings with \0 in them. [Bug:]
04/29/2007: gga
[Ruby]
Changed VALUE swig_ruby_trackings (the tracking hash table)
from static to being exposed outside of a single DSO. This
allows properly dealing with directors across multiple DSOs.
However, the developer is currently forced to turn on and off
a -DSWIGEXTERN flag. In the next revision this will be
addressed.

%feature("numoutputs","0") added. This (temporary) feature
allows you to ignore the output of a function so that it is
not added to a list of outpus values ( ie. argouts ).
This should also become a feature of %typemap(out) as
"numoutputs"=0, just like "numinputs"=0 exists.

Directors will now try to reset the ruby stack on the first call
to them if the developer sets the define RUBY_EMBEDDED.
Explanation:
Ruby's GC needs to be aware of the running stack in order to mark
any VALUE (Ruby objects) it finds there to avoid collection of
them. This allows the ruby API to very simple and allows you
to write code like "VALUE a = sth" anywhere without needing to
do things like refcounting like python.
