Parallel testing of Ruby 1.9 and 1.8

It’s actually really easy. Here’s how I did it.
$ svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk ruby19
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/ruby19
$ make
~ Get coffee
$ sudo make install
Now you have a fresh and cutting edge build of Ruby on your system. Time to install Rubygems.
$ wget "http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/34638/rubygems-1.1.0.tgz"
$ tar -xvzf rubygems-1.1.0.tgz
$ cd rubygems-1.1.0
$ sudo /opt/ruby19/bin/ruby setup.rb
Finally we need ZenTest, because it includes autotest.
$ /opt/ruby19/bin/gem install ZenTest
Now that we have all the prerequisites we just start two autotests.
