		stock_toaster on Aug 12, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Rbenv, an unobtrusive rvm replacement ruby-build seems fairly small. Have you considered just including it inside rbenv's bin directory? That may decrease the friction and improve the 'git checkout rbenv, add path, and get started' workflow.

It is fairly small, but I think part of the idea is to decouple rbenv from how or with what tools you build Rubies. (It might make sense, though, for someone to create and maintain a fork that bundles ruby-build and rbenv.)
