right now autotools, make and shell scripts are used to build ruby.

i saw that yarv needs a version of ruby to be present in order to
build it: right?
(i dont know if this is a temporary dependency)

but if ruby is needed to build ruby, we might aswell use a ruby
buildsystem like rake or rant for building ruby?

this would clearly have some disadvantages (difficulty of build ruby
for a platform that has no ruby binaries yet), but it would be eating
our own dog food though.

just looking for some feedback.
