Subject: [PATCH] Fix smartwd script to ensure that it always works

With Ruby version 1.8.5, the smartwd script would abort with an error that
the shift method would take no arguments. Therefore, I have restricted the
use of the script to ruby version 1.8.7 and above.

On older versions, it will simply behave the same as \w in PS1 of bash.
