Sorry, that's what I meant.

Currently, I have

  $ ls /usr/local/doc/ruby/
  ri-1.8b  ruby-1.8.0

And Joel mentioned optparse.  I know ri uses a home-grown installer,
and optparse is now standard library, but I'll see if I can find out
how it might get there.

It's pretty common for documentation directories, in particular, to
have version numbers associated.  Is that something we would want to
expect with ruby packages?
