If you have a blog, I'll really enjoy reading about this, since
mkmf.rb is a real pain to understand! ;-)

I don't know what happened to mkrf (which was supposed to replace
mkmf.rb with Rakefiles)... I wish there was some improvements on this
area :-)

Also, I'll love to know how did you managed the cross-compile thing,
since lot of developers could learn from it.
