Except it already does by letting a developer specify a Rakefile in spec.extensions. That's how I hacked around RubyGems to correctly install dependent dlls into the lib directory.

Not to mention the fact that once I have my gem installed, it can pretty much do what it wants.

Once it is installed, it will run as a regular user, not as root.

Ideally you want to be able to build as a normal user and only switch to root for the "copy files" portion of the install. Is there a system independent way of doing that?
