[ piggybacking my request onto this thread :) ]

Could someone show a hello-world example of creating a rubygem
with an extension?  I have followed the example,

http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?CreateAGemInTenMinutes

using s.extension << "..." without success.

How are different platforms flagged?  Do I append the gem name with
"-i686-linux" for example?  How do I specify more than one extension?
Can the gem attempt to compile an extension?

I have been told gem w/ extension works in theory, but I have not
seen a concrete, working example.
