I organize them all into their own files, then include them when I need
them.

For example, I've got a small collection of things handy for windows -- I
have them in a file called win.rb, and my installer puts them in
site_ruby\1.6\cl\util, so whenever I need them:

require 'cl/util/win'

I've also got an in-house library on the job that also has an installer and
what-not. This also allows me to include the latest win32ole.so when I need
it, plus other libs and blah blah blah.
