Sorry for the delay.  The only thing I noticed is that you need to add
the native search paths into this recipe, changing 2.2 to 2.1 in the
path directory.

Could you submit an updated patch?  I will test and merge after.  FYI,
I've begun work on a helper procedure to make it easy to make variants
of gem packages that use a different Ruby.  That patch should come
pretty soon.
