first draft package that doesn't make any attempt yet to split off
individual library bindings into seperate subpackages available at:
http://jef.is--a-geek.com/downloads/ruby-gnome2-all/
I've built this in mock against x86 fc4

Clearly I'm going to want to split out the binary subpackages based on
individual subdirectories of the full source tarball... tedious but
not difficult to do.

I'm more concerned about how rpm is catching the provided so files.
There's no indication that the provides are libraries in ruby's site
directory as compared to system lbraries. Is this going to be a
problem?
