Hi,

I request that octopress can use ruby native syntax highlighter directly, for
the following reasons:

Using `pygments` has caused some issues[1] under Archlinux and, possibly,
Gentoo linux. It seems that to solve these issues, the best solution is to get
rid of `pygments` and `rubypython` completely.

Also, implementing such an important function using non-native programs is
weird, since workable native counterparts are out there.

I'm new to ruby, so really not sure, but [coderay][2] seems workable.
