Sorry for the delay.  At the moment, there isn't a great way to do this.  What
you'll have to do is edit ext/libvirt/extconf.rb, and replace all instances
of "libvirt/libvirt.h" with the full path to your development headers.  You
might still have some issues finding the library to link against, so you might
also have to diddle with pkg_config to point it at your development directory
again.

Unfortunately I'm having some trouble getting my development setup working at
the moment, so I can't test it out at the moment.  If you do figure out how to
do it, I would appreciate knowing so that I can either make it easier to do
and/or document it on the website.

Thanks,
