Title: Remove backports, fix Ruby 1.8 support

require_relative is not necessary and backports has a huge negative effect on our application performance. Test suite passes in Ruby 1.9 and 1.8.

Also did some general project cleanup:
- Gemfile.lock is not supposed to be checked in for library development.
- Updated dependencies in gemspec.
- Cleaned up test/helper.rb.
