I already considered that option, but the problem is that Vagrant packages 
compile and bundle Ruby interpreter and there is no package for Solaris, which 
we could use. I am afraid that there are only 2 approaches:

1) package gems and maintain it ourselves
2) use the official build system and make contribution there
