Yeah, raa-install's xml compacted was quite the hack.  Getting the xml 
/ yaml files back up to date would be great.

Auto-gemifying RAA is a project that interests me (caveat: ditto on the 
24h/day).  I was thinking about overriding the constants from 
rbconfig.rb so that when I ran the appropriate installer, it would 
stick things in the right spot for a gem file.
