I've made a couple gems, but I'm not really a gems user now, so I can't really 
tell you, except to say that I would like to be able to download a tar 
archive of xampl so that I can try it out without having anything that I do 
with it forced to depend on gems.

I'd look at what Austin Ziegler has done with his PDF::Writer package.  It's a 
good practical example of how to target both gems and non-gems systems about 
as cleanly as it currently possible.
