Dunno, but it's a good candidate for the FAQ if it isn't in there.  
Actually the FAQ should 
have a whole section on "How do I make a Ruby module installable?" or some 
similar question.  We're really lacking unified info in this area, so 
everybody does it a little bit differently.  We need to come up with a 
'standard' way of doing package installation in order to make it easier 
for the various installer packages (raa_install, rpkg, rubynet, etc...)
