It's been a coupla years, but there's a wiki page devoted to this 
(naming your project, structuring it, using install.rb/setup.rb, etc.): 
http://rubygarden.org/ruby?QuickGuideToPackaging

I'll also be covering this in chapter 8 of the (Poignant) Guide.  I 
won't be releasing that chapter until next spring, so if you have input, 
I'd slurp it up.
