I'll review the rest of this work shortly, but the choice to go  
plugin is definitely the right one. Gems are not recommended for  
extensions like these to Rails. It's more for generic stuff like  
database connectors that has use outside of Rails. Plugins are for  
stuff that's made solely for Rails.
