Are you thinking about integrating with native package managers?

This would be rather useful if 'gem install' could take care of
installing the 100+1 native dependencies of rmagick, for example, or
check that the right version of glibc is present on this linux. On the
flipside, it would have to know more than "it's a linux".

Maybe the right way is to provide some simple hook for a native
package manager, and let various Linux flavors create an
implementation.
