Skip test_default_external_works on the CI for Ruby 1.9.3.

This test is affected by a bug in Ruby 1.9.3p0 and trunk:
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5564

Given we cannot fix it for ourselves, it is better to skip for now so
that we will easily see if further failures are introduced.

Jon Leighton is monitoring the bug report and will revert this when a
suitable solution is found (either a new Ruby release or a generic
workaround).

If you are using 1.9.3 in your app and have templates that are not in
UTF-8, you should add a workaround early on in the boot process. For
example, if your templates are Shift_JIS encoded, then add the
following in an initializer:

Encoding::Converter.new('Shift_JIS', 'UTF-8')
