Long story, short: I'm totally open to supporting more rubies if possible. Details follow.

Related issue: http://code.google.com/p/logstash/issues/detail?id=37

Summary:

• core and stdlib ruby changes violently and without notice and without backwards compatibility. I want nothing of that.
• need a cross-ruby date library that isn't part of stdlib (see previous point) and is also good.
• need an easy way to use multiple cpus that is cross-ruby (threads are not it)
