Because I must check Ruby and Ruby on Rails combination to build fine.
Currently,

        Ruby:           1.8, 1.9.2, 1.9.3
        Ruby on Rails:  3.0, 3.1, 3.2

So, there are 9 combination.  Although I have sown, I want to reduce
the cost.  (Ruby on Rails has another problem...)

Actually, was it done by branch announce?
