Message:
Currently I think gems forces you to package *both* 
binaries into one "fat binary" (which is what I do, using 
rake-compiler for cross compiling).
Thanks!

Message:
I don't actually know how you're supposed to package binaries to multiple versions of Ruby. I'll have to ask.

Regards,

Dan
