The answer to the second part of your question is versioning. The
answer to the first part is the later version of gems, which
automatically install stubs into the Ruby library directories. This
means that
require 'mylib'
will work if mylib was installed as a gem or regularly.
(I only know this because I've been reading the chapter on Gems that
Chad wrote for the new Pickaxe)
