    by Patrick Hurley

== DESCRIPTION:
  
Build a binary gem from an existing gem for your platform.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
  
* Would be better if it could gather the gem automatically out of the gem cache.
* Should also have an option to attempt to cleanup intermediate files (.o/.obj) 

== SYNOPSIS:

Build your gem so that it can be deployed on machines without a build chain  

== REQUIREMENTS:

* GEM and a binary build chain

== INSTALL:

* Install with gem, then just:

  gembuilder <gem_file>
