Can haz recent release w/ wide-char support on rubygems.org?

[5long]

Hi, I'm one of the contributors of sup project and we're just sorting things out to bring sup back to life.

We have this problem that:

• ncursesw 1.2.4.3 doesn't install on Ruby 1.8
• ncurses-ruby 1.2.1 does install on Ruby 1.8. But it doesn't link to libncursesw.so, which means no wide-char support.
• The old repository of ncurses-ruby does have a 1.3.1 release(highest version of all) here saying that it does link against libncursesw since 1.3.0. It's not released on rubygems.org but some Linux distros(including Archlinux, Ubuntu and Fedora) actually use this release as the canonical ruby-ncurses binding library.

Point is, this repository on Github seems the most maintained and emails to the original maintainer just got bounced with a "no such address". So I'm just asking the question here: may I have a ncurses - ruby binding that:

• releases on rubygems.org thus is gem i installable
• supports wide-char
• installs nicely without the error here: https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/issues/18
