Manually built... nah, just kidding ;-)

rake-compiler gemspec is strictly YAML, and plays as a manifest file
so there is no glob in that.

I can diff it before committing, since every time the gemspec is
updated the gem is generated in GitHub.

I'm not fond for one place for everything as configuration files. The
thing with that is that I need to go to some other place every time I
need to update the gemspec or any kind of info.

Just my two cents,
