The documentation and spec dirs are missing as well¹, just in case
those were unintentional.

I don't suppose creating a distcheck like target is easily done using
the ruby tools, as it is with automake, is it? ;)

Conversely, would using autotools be at all desirable?  I've never
looked to see if there's any support for creating gems in the
autotools.  Other than creating gems, is there anything else that is
obviously lacking in autotools (and yeah, I know many might offer
"sanity" as an answer :)?
