Description Sean Chittenden freebsd_committer

	If a user only has ruby-devel installed, every time the user installs
	or upgrades, they have to create a symlink from bin/ruby17 to bin/ruby.
	This patch negates the need to perform that step after every
	upgrade/install.

How-To-Repeat: 	portupgrade -f ruby

This is intentional.  RUBY_DEFAULT_VER is the variable to specify what
version of ruby should be aliased to /usr/local/bin/ruby, and RUBY_VER
is the variable to specify for which version of ruby ports should
build themselves.

There is the canonical way to do that, that is to define RUBY_DEFAULT_VER. 

I'm closing this PR but we can discuss the Ruby ports framework in private 
or on the public lists.
