Different teams (Javascript, Layout engine, etc..) where everyone has their own favorite tools :S Pushed fix to overlay.
Related to the fix that was made for this: Why is it necessary to have three different versions of Ruby for this one ebuild? When emerging webkit-gtk-1.9.4-r300, portage wants to pull in Ruby 1.8, 1.9, and Rubinius. I don't know if this was intentional, but to me it seems quite unnecessary.
Ebuild now correctly depends on ruby and should not pull anything more than necessary. Please open a new bug report if you still have problems with dependencies.
