I spent time over the past few days adding support for gem_extdir on Fedora >=
17.  An update spec file is now in place:

    http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/specs/rubygem-ruby-shadow.spec

As far as adding a comment about the licensing, would it suffice to link to the
original ruby-shadow review?  This code has not changed since then as far as
the licensing, so I don't think there's any reason to try and chase down the
original authors for a statement.

With respect to Fedora 15/16 support, I thought that they were supposed to have
backported support in ruby/irb/rubygems so that installing to the gemdir would
allow the module to be used from ruby?  This does not work for me:

[root at f16-32 /]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 16 (Verne)
[root at f16-32 /]# rpm -qa ruby\*
rubygems-1.8.11-1.fc16.1.noarch
ruby-libs-1.8.7.358-1.fc16.i686
ruby-irb-1.8.7.358-1.fc16.noarch

ruby-1.8.7.358-1.fc16.i686

[root at f16-32 /]# irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'shadow'
