Subject: $: - where does it get its initial values?

Howdy,

Where does $: get its values from?  The book says that it contains an 
array of places to search for loaded files and that it is "initialized 
to the list of standard directories, plus any additional ones you 
specify using RUBYLIB and -I."  Where does ruby get these standard 
directories?  I realize that I can set up RUBYLIB in my environment if I 
want to search directories I specify, but I am mystified as to the 
origin of the directories originally in $: .  Any help would be welcome.

Thanks,
Tuan
