I went ahead and installed ropt.  It came with
an installation script:

    $ ruby install.rb config
    $ ruby install.rb setup
    # ruby install.rb install

Then it installed (copied) the library
to /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/  (I hope I rememer
correctly.  The machine is at home).  This is the
same directory as gem manages, I think.  Is this what
people normally do?

I think this is OK, until the files installed
outside the gem framework conflict with those in
the gem archive.
