This looks excellent!  I've been wanting a way to integrate gems (and
CPAN, etc) with macports for a while... the fact that "gem" will by
default install non-macports-managed files into my /opt/local was
troubling.

How do you recommend using this?  Should I create a "gem-portfiles"
directory somewhere in my system that I put these in?  Should I make a
new directory in /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources?
