Calling all ruby enthusiasts

[Thomas Abthorpe]

I have been working toward getting lang/ruby18 removed from the ports
tree, it is vulnerable, and no longer supported upstream.  If you have
been watching the commit logs, you will see the work I have already put
into it's removal.  My personal thanks to Steve Wills (swills@) for
helping me through much of the process.

I have made some contact with some of you already about updating some
ports, but more work has to be done to get ruby18 removed.  You are
being contacted because you are a maintainer of one of the ports listed
below.

The first column is a port that has a DEPRECATED dependency, the second column
is the port targeted for removal.

Mk/bsd.lua.mk                   lang/ruby-lua4
devel/rubygem-rascut            www/rubygem-mongerl
devel/rubygem-rascut            www/rubygem-mongrel
devel/rubygem-ruby-debug-base   devel/rubygem-linecache
dns/dnsdoctor                   lang/ruby18
games/magicmaze                 devel/ruby-sdl
japanese/gorua                  x11-toolkits/ruby-gtk
security/flowtag                x11-toolkits/ruby-tk
sysutils/puppet                 www/rubygem-mongerl
sysutils/puppet27               www/rubygem-mongerl
www/aswiki                      textproc/ruby-amrita
www/rubygem-rails               www/rubygem-mongerl
www/rubygem-staticmatic         www/rubygem-mongerl
www/tdiary                      www/ruby-nora
www/typo                        www/rubygem-mongrel_cluster
www/typo                        www/rubygem-rails-app-installer

It would appear that making www/rubygem-mongerl* work with ruby19 would
be the biggest first step toward the final cleanup.

If you have some time, and want to help out, please find a port listed
above, fix it for ruby19, and file a PR to get it committed.

It is that easy :)

Thanks for all your help in advance.
