I'm writing a rails plugin, and figured I'd do it as a GemPlugin to be
ahead of the curve. I need to install some assets when the plugin is
installed in a rails app, but it would seem there's no mechanism by
which this occurs; install.rb is never run for a GemPlugin, unless I'm
missing something entirely.

I could check for the assets in init.rb and copy them over if they
don't exist, but that strikes me as poor behavior. I would guess the
thing to do would be to create a new gems task, gems:plugin:install or
similar, which would invoke the install scripts on all config.gems
that have been tagged with :plugin => true. Before I dive in and give
this a whirl, though, I figured I'd check with the dev team and see if
a. I've overlooked an existing installation mechanism, b. someone
already had something in the works, or even c. the GemPlugin idea was
still considered to be the future of plugins, or if yet another
strategy was being considered.
