Are those symlinks required or optional? Will OpenBSD packages use a default version like we have for python and tcl? For instance, I noticed some ruby scripts shipped with amarok, which use "env ruby". That currently does not work. Should this be adapted to use the default ruby version if there is any? Should dependencies be written to accept both versions?
