I took this snippet from another project's configure.ac, I think it's a common and sensible way of handling Fink and DarwinPorts. As you have said before, the Gem build system aims to build Gem using what is installed on that machine. This would definitely help that process, people wouldn't have to know how to setup their environment in order for the Gem build to use Fink and/or DarwinPorts.
i thought the paths were found fine when running the configure by hand. i thought this problem only occurs with autobuild (e.g. cron-triggered) systems?
nevertheless, i will investigate...
