Subject: Re: Ruby extconf.rb / autoconf (in?)compatibility

There is setup.rb which is used by some ruby extensions to do the
configure/build/install stuff. I think it is quite flexible and accepts
arguments for specifying all these paths. The minor problem is that the
arguments have names that differ from the auto* argument names so one
has to figure out which argument is which.
At least this is my experience with install.rb/setup.rb of the
extensions I tried to install.

Thanks
