+Subject: [PATCH] Add matches for ruby modules
+
+Similar to what's already done for Perl. Existing rules only match shebangs,
+which is not useful in most cases. This was tested to yield no false
+positives when run against every perl and python source file I could find
+on my system (260 CPAN modules and 59 Python modules). Produces a couple
+of false negatives for a couple of files from 30 Ruby gems I have
+installed, but is still an improvement over existing rules. (Ruby is
+used to construct DSLs quite often, it would be really tricky to match
+those).
