Installing ruby 1.8 head

[Andrew Grimm]

Is it possible to install Ruby 1.8 head (ie what would have been Ruby
1.8.8 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/ruby_1_8, not as in the 1.8.7
branch https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/ruby_1_8_7) using pik?

Pik will only install existing binary packages, it will not checkout
source or attempt to compile for you like RVM.

What you can do is clone RubyInstaller repository, clone Ruby source,
checkout the right branch you want, and then do:

> rake ruby18 LOCAL=C:\Path\to\Ruby\Source

That will produce sandbox/ruby18_mingw that will contain the compiled
version of Ruby.
