On the one hand for this purpose I've moved directory skeleton from 
ruby-modules to ruby package (I thought rather about 3rd party modules) and 
I've add %ruby_ver_requires_eq in addition to %ruby_mod_ver_requires_eq.
# cp /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rbconfig.rb .
# rpm -ev ruby-modules --nodeps
# install -m644 -D rbconfig.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rbconfig.rb
# rpm -E '%ruby_version'
1.8
It seems that rbconfig doesn't depend on any others modules. But, on the other 
hand, additional ~6MB (ruby-modules) on builder doesn't hurt too much and is 
needed f.e. for generating documentation - most of ruby packages use rdoc for 
this purpose and rdoc depends on ruby-modules. So you gain no big profit from 
moving rbconfig to ruby package - BR and R ruby-modules are needed allmost 
for every ruby package (even I've such assumption - I'm not going to check 
every ruby package). So, do as you wish (I'm not convinced of it).

Nice.

there's include yet, maybe sth else (I don't know ruby too - I've just started 
reading some tutorials and the like). Here is disscusion about this:
