However, there's one question I have that I didn't see answered.

That is, a ruby package that contains a main executable script, which currently goes into /usr/local/bin when I pass "-- prefix=/usr/local" into the "setup.rb config" command that I use during installation? Where will the executable script go by default under Leopard? Will it go into /usr/bin? Right now, I only have a single such program installed and which I rely on, which is misen (http://devel.korinkan.co.jp/misen/). When I upgrade to Leopard, I was thinking of removing my entire custom ruby installation from /usr/local, and relying on the built in one. But what will happen if I try to install misen?
