If you want to install ruby libraries along with extention, put ruby
libraries in lib/ directory where extension resides.  See tcltklib for
example.

If you want to install more stuff (like documentation), there's no
easy way yet.  If you come up with a API proposal, I'd love to enhance
mkmf.rb (or introduce new makefile maker, if it's not compatible).
