This reminds me of something interesting.

Ruby has a module mkmf that is used to make it easy
to create standard makefiles.  Now a standard
application on the RAA has various information about
how it is to be installed, and you can (with whatever
tools) make, make test, and make install.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some hook that can be
added so that if mkmf was properly configured you can
finish with make deb or make rpm and instead of
installing, package up the application in that format?

Cheers,
Ben
