I have a simple patch that turns the ruby support off, which is good enough 
for me as I've alway disliked the feature. I'm not going to submit a PR as 
someone may be using the pkgtools.conf support. The real solution is to patch 
the ruby file pkgtools-to-portmanager.rb. If anyone wants this done, but 
doesn't know ruby, the email address of the original author (which is not the 
portmanager author) is in the ruby file.

My patch file is below.
