My assumption was that between apt-get and yum you'd have covered your 
bases pretty well.
If that's not the case I suppose you could specify an install command, a 
la

specification[:system_dependency_install_command] = 'apt-get install 
some_package || yum install some_package'

then run something like

gem install rmagick --with_system_dependencies

or what not.
Thoughts?
