> A generic solution for Ruby has not been found yet. Ruby does accept an environment variable RUBYOPT to specify command-line options. The man page states that RUBYOPT can contain only -d, -E, -I, -K, -r, -T, -U, -v, -w, -W, --debug, --disable-FEATURE and --enable-FEATURE. The most promising option is -r which causes Ruby to load the library using require. However, this is limited to files with an extension of .rb or .so.

Interesting - could the -r option load a .so file with a .ctor section?
