   I'm trying... :)

   There are a couple places that seem like they should include 'ext'  
for gems that include binary components:

diff -r ./lib/hoe.rb /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hoe-1.1.2/lib/ 
hoe.rb
97c97
<     "-w -I#{%w(lib bin test).join(File::PATH_SEPARATOR)}" +
---
 >     "-w -I#{%w(lib ext bin test).join(File::PATH_SEPARATOR)}" +
177c177
<       dirs = Dir['{lib,test}']
---
 >       dirs = Dir['{lib,ext,test}']

   It doesn't look like 'hoe' will check if there is a binary module  
either, so I have ':extensions  => ["ext/extconf.rb"]' in my  
spec_extras.

   Also, while 'hoe' is required to run the rake tasks, it isn't  
clear why it is added as a dependency in general.  Does the final gem  
actually have any dependencies on 'hoe'?  I'm overriding that for now  
with ':dependencies => []' in my spec_extras.

   So far, though, this is pretty nifty :)
