This looks like a pretty major change, but in reality,
80% of it is just renames of types and corresponding
methods.
The config parsing code has been completely replaced
with a boost::program_options based version. This
means that the config file format slightly changed
(checkout the updated README).
I still expect there to be bugs / unforseen events.
Those should be fixed in follow up commits.
Also, finally reverted back to using pkg-config to
locate and link libruby. Yay for less hacks!
