I think Ruby 1.9 is using native threads, so presumably the MRI stdlib will need
to become threadsafe as well.

Long term, the best thing would be to have one shared stdlib; you could imagine
modules which are the same on both just being /usr/lib/ruby/foo.rb, but the
VM-specific ones be /usr/lib/jruby/foo.rb, /usr/lib/mi-ruby/foo.rb.

How about in the short term, get the JRuby people to modify their package loader
to first look in /usr/lib/jruby, and then fall back to the normal /usr/lib/ruby?
