Plus "3)": add runtime gem-specific requires for Fedora <= 20 and EPEL
<= 7.

Independently I got this result (with the explicit EPEL6 ABI fix):

%if 0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} <= 6
Requires:       ruby(abi) = %{rubyabi}
%else
Requires:       ruby(release)
%endif
%if 0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} <= 20 || 0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} <= 7
Requires:       ruby(rubygems)
Provides:       rubygem(%{gem_name}) = %{version}
%endif

... which looks equivalent.
