One policy would be to say:

- system wide: Use a Nix package
- user:        Under $HOME

That is the lazy option ;-).

My problem is that I want to provide Ruby to biologists, and can not
support all GEMs they will think of.

Is there a way to make a single Nix expression that takes, er, whatever identifies a Ruby-gem (its name?), as an argument, and works for all Gems? But Gems that depend on C libraries, for example, might not be able to work without explicitly mentioning their dependencies, which can't be listed in a portable way in the source Gem.
