I think the best way to go about it is to add "gem" and "gem_install"  
targets to packages/Makefile or packages/linux_make/Makefile.   
Ideally it would go in the first one since that's used on all  
platforms.  The second option is for things that are platform- 
specific.  Then that "gem" and "gem_install" targets just need to be  
added to the  "all" and "install" targets.

Does ./configure work on all platforms?  That would make life much  
easier.  Also, since the WinXP auto-build machine is MinGW-based, it  
would be quite handy to have ./configure working on MinGW also.

I am working on getting the auto-builds to report failures via email,  
so people know when they broke something.  I am thinking that these  
emails would then go to pd-dev.
