Subject: gemspec: How to install a Ruby extension into GEM/lib/SOME_DIR/ rather than GEM/lib/

Hi, supposing a gemspec containing:

  Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
    spec.name = "xxx-handler"
    [...]
    spec.extensions = ["ext/xxx_parser/extconf.rb"]
  end


when running "gem install xx-handler" the compiled extension
xxx_parser.so is installed into GEMS_DIR/xxx-handler/lib/ directory.
Is it possible to tell the gemspec file to install the extension in a
subdirectory within GEMS_DIR/xxx-handler/lib/ ?

Thanks a lot.
