title: Distributing ruby gems in a C/C++ GNU autotools project
body: <p>I am working in a polyglot project which mostly uses C++ and for some high level tasks Ruby. </p>
  
  <p>In my Ruby scripts I extensively used few very useful gems. However, although my Autotools setup is installing the ruby scripts, I do not find any way to distribute the required gems.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know any idiom or way to deal with this issue?</p>
