to share the my ebuilds for merb. added version bump of other dependencies separately, just included missing dependencies. I did use a little framework (gem2ebuild) I found in then net to make the ebuilds from the gem specs and improved it a little - quite handy.

Ebuilds for merb-1.0.3 are now in the Ruby overlay, accessible via layman.
Given the current development with merb and rails, we've decided not to take merb into CVS. Merb consists out of ~40 packages today and has releases almost every week, making the maintenance for us few ruby people really hard. Please use our overlay instead, we might bump the version from time to time there. Thank you for your ebuilds, though!
