the ebuild is almost totally empty, besides this line: 

inherit ruby gems

im thinking they could proably factor this line into the eclass, since 
presumably rubyforge has a naming convention:
SRC_URI="http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/gems/${P}.gem";


you might wnat to look into something similar. i like to think of the package 
manager as a wrapper, not an un-networked custom unwrapper/rewrapper and hope 
everything ends up back in the same box (and usually with competing version 
numbers and optional modules it doesnt)
