Subject: Including code from other projects in your own project.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know the standard way to include code from
other people in one's project. Lets say I would like to
include dev-utils in the Nitro distribution.

For the .gem distribution, things are simple, I just include
an s.add_dependency line in the Rakefile.

How should I do it in the .tar.gz distribution? Options
are:

- Inform the user in the README to manually donwload and install
dev-utils.
- Inlcude the dev-utils distribution in a vendor directory
(vendor/dev-utils).

I would like to know your opinion on this.
best regards,
George Moschovitis
