|That's where I went initially, but then I got thinking. Say RubyGems

It should be done by RubyGems, i.e. gems installer should switch
installing directory depending on how it's going to install.  When a
gem is installed as a part of system's packages, the gem (including
documents) should be installed to the standard place.  Otherwise, it
should go to site_ruby directory.
