I find vendor to be a nice conventional place for various files that our 
applications depend on, which should be version controlled alongside our ruby 
code. The contents of vendor may not even be ruby -- it might contain 
supporting software that's used in an integration, for instance.

Put another way, vendor is the place for third-party (vendor) support files.
