Good suggestion, but it would be platform specific. Maybe this situation would 
be best to create a pure ruby library. I see what you're saying. I think the 
tile/tk packager is a direct solution, only if there was a packager for ruby 
which would act this way.. To package in all the client libs built for many 
platforms(Win, fbsd, linux, macosx), and package in to one small package.
