code formatting - Directory layout for pure Ruby project

Question

I'm starting to learn ruby. I'm also a day-to-day C++ dev. For C++ projects I usually go with following dir structure

/
 -/bin <- built binaries
 -/build <- build time temporary object (eg. .obj, cmake intermediates)
 -/doc <- manuals and/or Doxygen docs
 -/src
 --/module-1
 --/module-2
 -- non module specific sources, like main.cpp
 - IDE project files (.sln), etc.

What dir layout for Ruby (non-Rails, non-Merb) would you suggest to keep it clean, simple and maintainable?

Answer 1

As of 2011, it is common to use jeweler instead of newgem as the latter is effectively abandoned.
