Since we have many ruby developers who are on FreeBSD, bsd.ruby.mk is
designed and made to allow users to install the ruby module ports on a
manually installed ruby instead of the one from the port (lang/ruby or
lang/ruby-devel), and also allow users to install multiple versions of
ruby at the same time without conflict.
Most hacks in bsd.ruby.mk that look ugly are because of that, so you
don't want to follow bsd.ruby.mk in that respect unless there is a
similar demand among the FreeBSD-Java folk.

I'm not following you... Are you saying that the warning is a problem
and it has something to do with bsd.ruby.mk?
Portugprade has BSD-style Makefile's for build and install, and that's
why you see the same warning you see when building a component of
FreeBSD.

Sorry, but I couldn't figure out what the problems are and in what
respect bsd.ruby.mk needs to be fixed in your mail. Could you
elaborate?
