I think we should put everything that is needed to build Gem in  
externals/gem.  On another project that I work on, ewrt, this is how  
its done.  They are using sources from all over the place, so they  
import whatever version they deem stable.  Then you can make branches  
to take changes to these imported sources so that those changes can be  
submitted to the upstream developers.

As for source vs. binaries, I would put the stuff up there as source,  
until its something that is quite hard to compile and has a lot of  
non-standard dependencies.
