ok, that's exactly what gemwatch already did.

Since gem2tgz might be useful for others than Debian, I thing they
should be 2 separate things indeed.

So, there it is: I extracted the gem/tarball conversion logic from
gemwatch and created gem2tgz.

svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-ruby-extras/trunk/gem2tgz

I would appreciate some review (and eventually sponsoring ;))

I've also changed gemwatch to use it, but having the new code in
production will require uploading a lenny backport of gem2tgz and
getting it installed on alioth.
