[ANN] TCS 1.9.3-p134 experimental build
Jon
Interested *nix users can easily test drive the TCS multi-platform optimizations (sans Fenix) via RVM or rbenv. A huge THANK YOU to Michał Papis for adding TCS to RVM so quickly.

Last but not least, I'm pleased to announce the retirement of Hiroshi's `winio/ruby_1_9_3` patch branch (5d1c0f0) because his work has been committed upstream...for both trunk and 1.9.3.
Bravo!
=== Notable Updates from Previous Release ===
* Yura's 1.9.3 backport of the MRI Bitmap Marking GC. His initial benchmark data at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiAJhny-k9SgdFpHWnN2cndNN0NCM3l1OUhDNDRKUXc
* Yura's updated Hash optimizations
* Hiroshi's pull requests merged into Luis' Fenix File optimizations
* Official ruby-core 1.9.3 backports as of ruby_1_9_3@34690
* RubyGems 1.8.17
Recall that Fenix optimizations (a.k.a use the Windows API to make `File.expand_path` much faster) must be explicitly enabled similar to `set RUBYOPT=-rfenix/replace` or `ruby -rfenix/replace ...`
=== Built and Tested On ===
* Windows 7 32bit/MinGW 4.6.2 (1)
* Windows 7 32bit/Windows SDK 7.1 (2)
* Arch 3.2.6 32bit/GCC 4.6.2 (3)
* FreeBSD 9.0 32bit/GCC 4.6.2 (4)
