So, perhaps I'm showing some ignorance here.  Do these guidelines allow 
for packaging pre-built gems (similar to pre-built java .jar files) or 
are they genuinely being built completely from source?

Maybe I'm confusing that with gems being built and generated in one 
step, rather than the rpm notion of extracting source/patching (%prep), 
building stuff (%build), and installing into buildroot (%install).
