Hi all,

Please forgive my newbieness/ignorance, but are there any plans or is anyone working on support for Gems that require Native Extensions?

I know the complexities (I've been investigating for kicks this weekend) but this would be a huge boon for Ruby developers. I was specifically aiming to install nokogiri and have been experimenting over the weekend with little success.

Additionally there appear to be quite a few files missing from the Std-lib. mkmf.rb and the irb files are notable. I can guess why as to the irb files weren't included but I'm curious about the rest of them. Can anyone shed some insight here for me?
