The README says:

Or you can install it from the tarball or zip packages on the download page
and then extract it to your vendors directory as you would with any other
Ruby library.

First, if this is for Rails, please say so explicitly. Second, there is no "vendors" directory; the directory
in Rails apps is called "vendor".

Third, even for Rails apps, this instruction is insufficient. Please give command-line-level instructions on where to
put what directories. Unanswered questions include:

 * Does it go in vendor or vendor/plugins?
 * Does the top level directory go in there, or just lib?
 * If it goes in vendor/plugins, where's init.rb?
 * What code (if any) needs to be added to environment.rb?

I want to include feedtools in my project dir but until I find out how, I'll have to keep using it as a gem.
