E.g. do not install the application as a typical gem but install it into dedicated folder. Or is there way how to use it in other application as a library? I am not familiar with Showoff, so I am just asking.

You're right, it's a tool and actually I think it's possible to package it in this way.
Showoff itself is a Sinatra::Application which is almost the same as Deltacloud.

Of course there is a way how to use it as library (basically requiring it ;-) and then
inherit/override/monkeypatch it. But I pretty sure that no one will use it in this way.
