I have to say I really dislike this: I know it's probably "standard", 
but is ends up spraying files all over the filesystem. It would seem so 
much more sensible to store files under a common subtree, so that 
removing Ruby from a system takes no more than an rm -rf. Having used 
OSX for I while, I guess I'm spoiled, but I'd really much, much rather 
keep the files local to the Ruby tree.

Cheers
