YARV 0.4.1 includes script "rb/compile.rb".

  ruby rb/compile.rb [-o output script name] [script]

If you eliminate output script name, "a.rb" file will be created.  And
rb/compile.rb is only experimental version.

This compilation purpose is "obfuscation", not for performance.

On 0.4.1, some optimize options are enabled by default, especially
"specialized instruction".
