It would appear that if you have a "lib" dir within an extension
directory, running 'ruby extconf.rb' will cause any *.rb files
beneath that lib dir to be installed with either 'make install' or
'make site-install'.  What about other directories?

What about if there is a "libexec" directory?  Perhaps have any *.rb
files beneath that also be installed, but with perms 0755?  I'm just
wondering if this extconf.rb stuff can be used to get other files
installed, perhaps some support scripts and/or examples.  

Or should a completely separate script be used for that?  Perhaps
have some install.rb script that when found during the 'ruby
extconf.rb' process, would cause the execution of that install.rb to
be appended to the 'install' and 'site-install' targets, kinda like
how instruby.rb is used???
