Help needed with building Ruby extensions for hivex, libguestfs

[Hilko Bengen <bengen@debian.org>]

Hi,

I'd love to provide ruby-hivex and ruby-guestfs packages, but I need
some help with figuring out what needs to be adjusted so that the Ruby
bindings can be built in separate builddirs. Working patches would be
even better. :-)

Both packages use autoconf to generate the Rakefile at build-time. So
far, I haven't been able to figure out how to adjust the paths so that
"rake build" will put all newly generated files below @builddir@ and
"rake install" will take the files from appropriate locations.

Thanks,
-Hilko
