  --docs        - with install, attempt to generate ri after installation.
  --reconfigure - Force ./configure on install even if Makefile already exists.

Options

  -v|--version    - Emit rvm version loaded for current shell
  -l|--level      - patch level to use with rvm use / install
     --prefix     - path for all rvm files (~/.rvm/), with trailing slash!
     --bin        - path for binaries to be placed (~/.rvm/bin/)
  -S              - Specify a script file to attempt to load and run (rubydo)
  -e              - Execute code from the command line.
  --gems          - Used to set the 'gems_flag', use with 'remove' to remove gems
  --archive       - Used to set the 'archive_flag', use with 'remove' to remove archive
  --patch         - With MRI Rubies you may specify one or more full paths to patches
                    for multiple, specify comma separated:
                    --patch /.../.../a.patch[%prefix],/.../.../.../b.patch
                    'prefix' is an optional argument, which will be bypassed
                    to the '-p' argument of the 'patch' command. It is separated
                    from patch file name with '%' symbol.

  --ree-options   - Options passed directly to ree's './installer' on the command line.
  --with-rubies   - Specifies a string for rvm to attempt to expand for set operations.

               there is an if around the sourcing scripts/rvm.
