I _very_ _strongly_ disagree with installing docs in my lib dir.  Of
course, anything in the FreeBSD ports tree should be moving over to
/usr/local/share/doc/ruby, but if I am installing a non ported package
I do not want it cluttering up my lib dir with things that are not
libraries.

from hier(9) on FreeBSD:
              lib/      archive libraries

              ...

              share/

              ...

                      doc/       miscellaneous documentation; ...
