    # Uses
    # <tt>{Gem::Ext::ExtConfBuilder}[http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/Gem/Ext/ExtConfBuilder.html]</tt>,
    # so extensions are compiled locally just as they will be with <tt>`gem
    # install`</tt>. Your users will thank you.
    #
    # To enable and configure, add
    # <tt>extensions[http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#extensions]</tt>
    # to your gemspec.
