Thank you for thinking about us, humble repackagers :-)
I have uploaded xmlresume2x to the preliminary Ruby Production Archive, 
so it is now available with
   rpa install xmlresume2x
That makes it port #152 ;)

I did some minor changes (added a description and tried to install
all the relevant docs) to the install script:

require 'rpa/install'

class Install_xmlresume2x < RPA::Install::FullInstaller
  name 'xmlresume2x'
  version '0.1.0-2'
  classification Application
  build do
      installdocs %w[COPYING ChangeLog TODO]
      installdocs "doc" # default, which was overriden by the above
      installrdoc %w[README] + Dir["lib/**/*.rb"]
      installdata
  end
  description <<-EOF
Converts an XML resume to various output formats.

xmlresume2x can convert CVs written in the XML R�sum�
Library format (http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net), based
on the 'standard' European Curriculum Vitae format at
http://www.cedefop.eu.int/transparency/cv.asp, to a number
of formats, including LaTeX markup which uses the europecv
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/europecv.html)
class.
EOF
end


Is the description OK?

It is not possible to install under the standard datadir with RubyGems,
by design. You'd have to change your code for RubyGems, using something 
like

if defined?(Gem::Cache)
	gempath = Gem::Cache.from_installed_gems.search("xmlresume2x",
			"=#{MYVERSION}").last.full_gem_path
	datapath = File.join(gempath, "data")
else
	datapath = File.join(Config::CONFIG["datadir"], "xmlresume2x")
end

in addition to the 'standard'

# try the one in site_lib first
begin
  require 'otherlibstuff'
rescue LoadError
  raise if $".include "rubygems.rb"
  require 'rubygems'
  retry
end

or

# try the RubyGems version first.
begin
  require 'rubygems'
rescue LoadError
end
require 'otherlibstuff'
