Oh, of course.  I hadn't quite thought through exactly what you were doing.

Hmmm ... I don't have any quick answers for you.  You are exploring turf that 
is a bit outside the intended domain of RubyGems.

The only thing I can think of is to use the extensions feature, but somehow 
fake it out to do what you want.  Don't know if that is even feasible tho.
