I believe the `Current` symlink has always existed.

So we have these options:

  1. Include our own ruby 1.8 (for 10.10 users) and update all shebangs 
to find that.

  2. Include our own ruby 2.0 (for 10.7 & 10.8) and update all shebangs 
plus code to run on 2.0.

  3. Use `Current` and ensure all code works on both 1.8 and 2.0.

For a quick fix I am leaning toward option #1. Long-term we should do 
#2.

I think option #3 is a little painful and will require testing against 
`RUBY_VERSION` for some code.

> Allan, how can I start working on this?

# Step One

We need to create a new bundle and package ruby 1.8 into that bundle’s 
Support folder. The binary should be named `ruby18` (or similiar 
distinctive name).

The bundle should then include a setting that sets `PATH` to 
`$PATH:$TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT/ruby18/bin`.

All ruby shebangs then need to be updated to use `#!/usr/bin/env 
ruby18`.

# Step Two

Add ruby 2.0 to the same bundle and to the `PATH` as well.

# Step Three

Update ruby code in the bundle-support bundle to work on both 1.8 and 
2.0. This will be required unless we migrate all commands at once.

# Step Four

Update other ruby code to work on 2.0 and update the shebang to 
`#!/usr/bin/env ruby20`.
