I'm not sure there is something I don't understand... ;)

I want to pack up a gem with precompiled files for linux, windows-cygwin 
and windows-mswin32 and have the gem choose at install time which one to 
install.

I guess I could go down the route of multiple gems, one for each 
platform, (as MF pointed out) but will the command

"gem install --remote myproject"

then know to dl the right one and install it or will the user have to 
choose the "right" gem for their platform?

Thanks,

Robert
