But using a manifest and Hoe, it only upload one gem (the one with
platform ruby). For example if we expanded do_sqlite to actually work
under JRuby, we will need a separate upload/release process for it.

I think we found a nice pattern across all the DM and DO gems that can
be simplified into a something more Ruby-like than CONST and requires
in the middle of the Rakefile.

I need some time to finish rake-compiler and do real life testing with it.
