That would be super awesome! I would love to help put the stuff in
NumRu in a gem, but I'm afraid there is a lot I would have to learn
about how that would work first. With a little bit of guidance though,
I might be able to. Can you point me in the right direction?

Sounds like this may end up being a bit complicated. I'm primarily
developing for a group of windows boxes. I installed gsl and the ruby
bindings on my windows computer using the NumRu (numerical ruby)
installer,
which contains these packages.
From what I can tell, there's not binary gem for Ruby/GSL on Windows.
I've been wondering if we should start a Shoes-specific gem repo.
Kind of like how Ubuntu has its own set of packages, seperate from
Debian.
The goal would be to organize patches and improvements for Shoes
users beyond what the normal Gem authors are doing. I actually
think if we had dedicated package maintainers, it could benefit a
lot of Rubyists out there, even those who don't use Shoes.
In Ruby/GSL's case, we'd make a gem from the stuff in NumRu and put
it up on shoooes.net.
