Builder Dependency

[t.pickett66]

Matt Z,

I've been thinking about our encoding woes when representing multibyte characters in the serviceValidate xml when using 1.9.3 and came up with a theory that has panned out provided an answer but leaves us without a fix. I think this is un related to the UTF-8 issue Larry encountered when serializing UTF-8 data into the DB because when I debug the retrieval the characters come back from the database correctly but then get mangled in Builder. Any way what I've learned:

Builder 2.1.2 comes packaged in the vendor directory with activesupport 2.3.x and is locked to 2.1.x in activemodel 3.0.x. The vendored version with the 2.3 series can be overridden by simply adding a builder requirement to the app with the version we want. This does fix the problem for 2.3 but because 3.0 has builder locked to 2.1.x this doesn't work for that series. So all of this being said my recommendation of adding a caveat to the readme regarding modern interpreters and older versions still stands. I'll be happy to draft that and submit a pull request if you so desire.
