 Ruby original distribution was divided into separate packages in order
 to minimumize dependency to external packages and to keep base Ruby
 package small.
 
 ruby-digest package was separated referring the FreeBSD ports.  But it
 is sure that some of libraries installed by ruby18 package aren't
 usable well.
 
 One simple solution is merge ruby-digest package to ruby18 package,
 but similar situation exists with ruby-iconv package.
